What is Melatonin?

How does Melatonin work?

Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by the pineal gland that regulates the body's sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm). Supplemental melatonin signals the body that it is time to sleep, helping to reduce the time to fall asleep and support overall sleep quality.

How to use Melatonin

Take as directed by your prescriber, typically 30–60 minutes before bedtime. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after taking.

Melatonin side effects

Morning grogginess, vivid dreams, mild headache, and dizziness may occur, particularly at higher doses. These effects are generally mild and dose-related. Reducing the dose often resolves them.

Drug interactions with Melatonin

CNS depressants (sleep aids, antihistamines, benzodiazepines) combined with melatonin may increase sedation. Blood thinners and immunosuppressants may also interact. Caffeine, alcohol, and bright light exposure before bed can reduce effectiveness.

How to store Melatonin
