Melatonin is a hormone (N‑acetyl-5‑methoxytryptamine) produced especially at night in the pineal gland.* Its secretion is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light.* Melatonin, an indole, is synthesized from tryptophan via serotonin.* The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus have melatonin receptors and melatonin may have a direct action on SCN to influence circadian (sleep) rhythms.* Liquid melatonin 3X SAP is a high quality and high potency melatonin (1.5 mg per spray) and offers the flexibility to dose from 1.5 mg up to 10 mg per day.*
Liquid melatonin 3X SAP helps increase the total sleep time (aspect of sleep quality) in people suffering from sleep restriction or altered sleep schedule, e.g. shift work and jet lag.* Liquid melatonin 3X SAP helps to prevent and/or reduce the effects of jet lag and helps reduce the time it takes to fall asleep in people with delayed sleep phase disorder.* Liquid melatonin 3X SAP also helps reset the body’s sleep/wake cycle.*
