Melatonin 1mg

Melatonin is a hormone produced in the pineal gland of mammals that aids in the regulation of sleep/wake cycles. This product is specially designed to mimic the typical nighttime release pattern of melatonin. The first stage releases approximately 0.25 mg of melatonin within 30 minutes followed by a delayed release of the remainder about 3 to 4 hours later. NOW® Melatonin is synthesized according to the highest pharmaceutical standards of quality and purity.

What is Melatonin and what source does it come from?

Melatonin is a naturally-occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland that plays a role in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle. It is secreted by the pineal gland after your body senses the fall of darkness at the end of each day, and keeps your body synchronized with the rhythms of day and night. It is also a powerful antioxidant that supports immune system function. As we age, melatonin levels decline, so supplementation is necessary to provide optimal levels of this important hormone. Scientists believe this reduction is the reason why older adults have more trouble sleeping than younger people. NOW® Melatonin is a synthetic dietary supplement. Natural Melatonin is normally derived from animal pineal tissue, but concerns have arisen over the survival of unwanted microbes during the manufacturing process. NOW® would rather be cautious, so we only offer the safe, synthetic form of this nutrient.
