Melatonin
3 mg, 60 vegetarian capsules
Item Catalog Number: 00330
Melatonin increases the speed of falling asleep and adds to the quality of sleep. It also has a strong antioxidant property and is important for protecting cellular DNA.
Benefits at a Glance
Melatonin is a hormone derived from the amino acid tryptophan. Melatonin is primarily synthesized by our pineal gland and released mostly at night to make falling asleep easier. In addition to healthy sleep support, melatonin has strong antioxidant properties and has been shown to support immune health, and healthy brain function, and more.
A good night's sleep is crucial for overall health and well-being. But many people experience difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. Healthy sleep patterns are governed by your body's circadian rhythm, and melatonin helps keep your circadian rhythm in tune.1,2 But melatonin release declines with age,3-5 and can be affected by jet lag, shift work, and even vision health.6-8
Melatonin also has strong antioxidant properties. It directly scavenges both hydroxyl and peroxyl free radicals, and it does so more effectively than most other antioxidants. It also greatly potentiates the efficiency of other endogenous and exogenous antioxidants.9
Melatonin is especially important for healthy cellular DNA support because it helps inhibit peroxynitrite free radical reactions.10 Melatonin has been found to be better than glutathione-3, vitamin C, and even vitamin E at helping to inhibit oxidative damage.11
Melatonin has a beneficial impact on the immune system—it activates T-helper cells, which trigger other immune cells to boost immune system response to foreign molecules.12,13
Age-related cognitive decline may be directly correlated to melatonin levels.14-16 Melatonin supplementation can help support the brain's normal antioxidant protection, and help inhibit factors that can lead to cognitive decline.17-20

Dosage and Use
Take one (1) capsule 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Melatonin is naturally secreted from the pineal gland at night, and should be taken at night for optimal results.

melatonin activates MT1/MT2 receptors to promote sleep onset, regulates circadian genes, scavenges free radicals. Clinical studies demonstrate significant improvements in sleep quality markers within 8-12 weeks of supplementation, with optimal results achieved through consistent daily use alongside a balanced diet.
The formula provides research-backed dosages that align with clinical studies showing optimal efficacy. Melatonin 3mg at this level has been demonstrated to support circadian rhythm regulation in multiple peer-reviewed trials, with bioavailability enhanced through careful formulation design.
This supplement is generally well-tolerated and can be combined with most other nutritional supplements. However, if you're taking medications or other supplements containing similar ingredients, consult with a healthcare provider to ensure appropriate total daily intake levels and avoid potential interactions.
Individual responses vary, but many users report initial benefits within 2-4 weeks of consistent use. For comprehensive sleep quality support, clinical research suggests optimal results typically emerge after 8-12 weeks of daily supplementation, as the body gradually achieves optimal nutrient levels.
Follow the label directions for optimal results. Taking the supplement with a meal containing healthy fats may enhance absorption of fat-soluble nutrients. Consistency is key—establishing a daily routine helps maintain steady nutrient levels and maximize sleep quality benefits over time.
Results: Melatonin supplementation at 2-5mg reduces sleep onset latency by 7-12 minutes and increases total sleep time by 13-35 minutes in adults with insomnia.

Results: Melatonin administration at 0.5-5mg significantly reduces jet lag symptoms by 50-70% when taken close to target bedtime at destination, with 3mg being optimal dose.

Results: Melatonin supplementation improves sleep quality scores by 25-40% and reduces wake after sleep onset by 15-25 minutes in older adults with age-related sleep difficulties.
