Uses For Melatonin™
Promotes Natural Sleep Cycles: Melatonin nutritionally
augments the functioning of the pineal gland, supporting
the body's natural sleep cycle. In one study, melatonin
supported sleep onset when taken in the evening and
did not cause morning drowsiness. A double blind,
placebo-controlled, parallel design study suggested
that melatonin supplementation enhanced sleep onset
and sleep quality in subjects. One double blind
placebo-controlled study involving an international flight
crew suggested that melatonin supported healthy sleep
and recovery patterns in these individuals.*
What Is The Source?
This supplement contains 99.5% pure synthetic
melatonin. Hypo-allergenic plant fiber is derived from
