Sleep Stress
This complete formula combines melatonin (10 mg/10 mL), L-theanine, chamomile, California poppy, and passionflower which provides a calming effect, while promoting a rapid sleep. In addition to the melatonin which acts on the pineal gland indicating that it is time to sleep, the herbs were chosen for their sleep aid, sedative, analgesic and hypnotic properties. This product is for the experienced consumer who knows their melatonin needs. Although the dosage can be adapted to individual needs, the calming effect of the herb extracts is at its maximum with the 10 mL dose. Each individual naturally secretes a different amount of melatonin. It is thus essential to find the dosage which is appropriate to you in melatonin, because the needs can be different for each individual. 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.

Melatonin, also called 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 concentrations 10 to 100 times higher than those measured during the day. Once this peak has ended, the quantity of melatonin secreted decreases to make way for the waking phase. Melatonin allows to synchronize the circadian rhythm (24h), to accelerate the falling asleep and to improve the duration and the quality of the sleep. The melatonin used in our formula is synthetic.
Theanine is an amino acid (L-theanine) extracted from tea, Camellia sinensis, which promotes relaxation. By regulating the activity of the brain's neurotransmitters, it helps limit the level of cortisol triggered in times of stress. It also activates the Alpha waves of the brain whose role is to calm the body.
German chamomile, Matricaria chamomilla, is often confused with Roman chamomile, Chamaemelum nobile. Having similar digestive properties, German chamomile has a milder taste and has soothing and relaxing properties. Used since antiquity, recent studies have suggeted its effectiveness in relieving nervousness and gastrointestinal disorders.
California poppy, or Eschscholtzia californica, is a herb belonging to the poppy family. Native to Western America, it was already used by the Amerindians who consumed its leaves boiled or roasted for its relaxing qualities and as a sleep aid.
Passionflower, Passiflora incarnata, is a climbing herb with splendid brightly colored flowers. Discovered by the Spanish explorers, they learned its uses from the Aztecs. Many studies have suggested its effectiveness on sleep disorders of nervous origin.
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.
No, Melatonin is not addictive and does not induce a feeling of withdrawal.
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 dose needed to help us sleep can vary from person to person. Taking a higher dose or more than needed can lead to ineffectiveness of melatonin. It is therefore important to start with the lowest dose 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 dose of 0.3 and 0.5 mg of melatonin would be sufficient for the majority of people.
No, our melatonin is for adults. Please consult a doctor, the only person authorized to prescribe melatonin to children.
