Question

My daughter (a girl from a yeshiva home in Bnei Brak) bought drops (not pills) for sleep. Name: melatonin. Company: Maxi-Health. Kashrut: UK - under the supervision of the Av Beit Din of Odwari, shlita. I wanted to inquire if this product has issues that require a more stringent kashrut.

Answer

Shalom u'vracha

According to the instructions of our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita, I cannot comment on specific kashrut certifications.

However, regarding the question: if the drops do not have a good taste, they may be taken for medical purposes, even without kashrut.
