Moderate melatonin dosage capsules for people suffering from occasional or moderate sleep problems. The dosage can be doubled if needed.

Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body, primarily by the pineal gland, and helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle. When using a melatonin supplement, it is best to start with the lowest effective dose, as taking more does not necessarily lead to better results. In fact, excessive amounts may sometimes have the opposite effect, potentially disrupting sleep patterns, causing grogginess upon waking, or reducing its effectiveness. For this reason, it is recommended to begin with a low dose and increase gradually only if needed.

This product carries NPN 80032965 and is licensed by Health Canada for the uses and conditions authorized in its product licence. It is manufactured in Quebec by Adrien Gagnon, a Quebec company with over 80 years of expertise in natural health products. Offered in a 100-capsule format, this 5 mg dosage sits between the 3 mg and 10 mg formats, making it an intermediate option for those seeking a stronger effect without moving straight to the highest dosage.

Key Ingredient

The medicinal ingredient is melatonin, at 5 mg per capsule. The body produces this hormone naturally, mainly in the pineal gland, and it helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle.

Melatonin is often called "the sleep hormone." The body makes it naturally from serotonin, and the pineal gland releases it starting at nightfall.

Its production follows a specific cycle:

  • it peaks around 2:00 a.m., at levels 10 to 100 times higher than during the day;
  • after this peak, secretion drops to make way for the waking phase.

Melatonin helps synchronize the circadian rhythm (24 hours), speed up sleep onset and improve sleep duration and quality.

Some foods contain it naturally, such as pistachios, black rice and cow's milk. The amount can vary a lot depending on factors like hours of sunlight and when the crop is harvested (or, for animals, when they are milked).

Melatonin in natural supplements can come from animal, plant or synthetic sources. The melatonin in our sublingual tablets is synthetic.

At 5 mg, this dose sits between the 3 mg and 10 mg formats. It's an intermediate option if you want a stronger effect without going straight to the highest dose.

Good to know
Melatonin absorption varies from person to person. That's why it's best to start with the lowest effective dose and increase gradually only if needed. With this product, the dose is 1 to 2 capsules a day.

Melatonin is not known to cause dependence when used as directed. That said, a higher dose isn't necessarily more effective. Too much can disrupt sleep, cause grogginess when you wake up or reduce its effectiveness.
