Melatonin is a hormone that is produced in the brain by the pineal gland from serotonin. It is used primarily as a sleep aid. It is also commonly used to reduce jet lag. Low melatonin levels are considered a very common cause of sleeplessness.
Several double-blind studies have shown that melatonin supplementation is effective in promoting sleep when melatonin levels are low; however, if an individual takes melatonin when levels are not reduced, then it reportedly has no effect.
For individuals who are deficient in glutathione, melatonin is important because it stimulates the production of glutathione peroxidase.
This versatile nutrient is also a powerful antioxidant. In addition, it works to stimulate phosphorylation of pyridoxine in the brain and facilitates the formation of pyridoxal 5-phosphate. Melatonin may also help in the methylation process, which is important in the body’s absorption and utilisation of vitamin B6.

Suggested use
Swallow one tablet one hour before bedtime or as directed by a doctor.
Tablets must be swallowed whole. Do not crush or dissolve in liquids as this will destroy the extended release system that prolongs dissolve time. Tablets may be swallowed with foods like applesauce, mashed potato, or peanut butter followed by water. Individual tablets may darken over time but the potency and efficacy are not affected.
Warnings
Store in a cool, dry place and tightly capped.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Formulated for adults and children aged four years and older. For children under four, consult a doctor.
