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.
