I bought melatonin pills today because i am flying to capetown. will they help?

Timing is everything: What you need to do for melatonin to be effective is to time the dosing 2-3 days before with the dark cycle of capetown not la palma. Delay bedtime further so that this can make you more acclimated to this time zone.
