Benefits

• Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep (sleep onset latency aspect of sleep quality) in people who fall asleep slowly or with delayed sleep phase disorder.

• Helps increase the total sleep time (aspect of sleep quality) in people suffering from sleep restriction or altered sleep schedule.

• Helps re-set the body's sleep-wake cycle (aspect of the circadian rhythm).

• Helps to reduce the effects of jet lag.

What it does?

Our bi-layer controlled release tablet formula, recommended to prevent night-time awakenings (fragmented sleep), acts in 2 steps. The first layer provides 5mg of melatonin which dissolves quickly to provide an immediate release of melatonin. The second layer provides another 5 mg of time-release melatonin to prevent nighttime awakening and help extend sleep duration. Each individual naturally secretes a different amount of melatonin. It is therefore important to find the right dosage of melatonin for you as each individual's needs may be different. Dosage is key, as too much melatonin can have the opposite effect and prevent you from falling asleep. It is recommended to start with the lowest dose and gradually increase until you find the one that suits you best.


How to take it

Adults (18 years and older): Take 1 tablet once a day, at or before bedtime.

For jet lag, take once a day at bedtime, while travelling, and at destination until adapted to the new time zone/or daily pattern.

Key Ingredient


Melatonin


Melatonin, also known as the sleep hormone, is naturally produced by the body. It is synthesized from serotonin and secreted from nightfall by the pineal gland. Its concentration peaks around 2:00 a.m., reaching levels 10 to 100 times higher than those measured during the day. Once this peak has changed, the amount of melatonin secreted decreases to give way for the waking phase. Melatonin helps synchronize the circadian rhythm (24 hours), accelerate sleep and improve the duration and quality of sleep. Some foods contain it naturally, such as pistachios, black rice or cow's milk, but the content can vary greatly depending on various criteria such as the duration of sunlight, the time of harvest or milking for animals. Melatonin, in natural supplements, can be derived from animal, vegetable or synthetic sources. The melatonin contained in our bi-layer tablets is synthetic.

Good product

Can it be taken continuously?
Melatonin supplements are not intended for long-term use and should not exceed four weeks, long enough to improve sleep or adjust the sleep cycle. For continuous supplementation longer than 1 month, consult a healthcare practitioner.


Is melatonin addictive?
No, Melatonin is not addictive and does not induce a feeling of withdrawal.


Can we increase the dose of melatonin when there is no result?
Melatonin is a hormone naturally secreted by the pineal gland, the deficiency of which is rarely observed, and which does not necessarily cause a sleep disorder. However, the level of secretion varies from person to person which means that the dosage needed to help us sleep can vary from person to person. Taking a higher dose or more than needed can lead to the ineffectiveness of melatonin. It is therefore important to start with the lowest dosage and increase as needed after a few days (adaptation period) if there are no results without exceeding the 10 mg dose. Contrary to popular belief, a higher dosage of melatonin does not make you sleep more and may even cause the opposite effect. According to recent literature, a dosage of 0.3 and 0.5 mg of melatonin would be sufficient for most people.
