Thorne Melaton-3™, 60 Capsules

Melatonin, the primary hormone of the pineal gland, is a powerful "chronobiotic" that helps maintain the body's normal circadian rhythms.* In individuals who have difficulty sleeping or who have altered circadian rhythms because of jet lag or night shift work, melatonin supplementation promotes the resynchronization of this cycle.* Supplementation can also benefit those whose difficulty sleeping is caused by the aging-related decrease in the body's ability to synthesize melatonin from the amino acid tryptophan.* Research indicates melatonin exerts its sleep-promoting efficacy by decreasing the amount of time needed to fall asleep, by promoting the ability to stay asleep, and by enhancing the depth of sleep.

This supplement provides 3 mg of Melatonin per serving. Other ingredients include Calcium Laurate, a Hypromellose Capsule, Microcrystalline Cellulose, and Silicon Dioxide.

Recommended Use or Purpose: Helps increase total sleep time (aspect of sleep quality) in people suffering from sleep restriction or altered sleep schedule, e.g., shift work and jet lag. Helps reduce the time it takes to fall asleep (sleep onset latency aspect of sleep quality) in people with delayed sleep-phase syndrome. Helps reset the body's sleep-wake cycle (aspect of the circadian rhythm).

Recommended Dose (Adults): Take 1-2 capsules daily at or before bedtime or as recommended by a health professional. Consult a health professional for use beyond 4 weeks.
