Melatonin Peppermint Flavored Sublingual
2.5 mg, 240 tablets
Item Catalog Number: 23060

Melatonin a hormone is released by the pineal gland, reaching its peak at night to help maintain tissues in a youthful state of health. Secretion of melatonin declines significantly with age as the pineal gland becomes calcified.

Melatonin keeps our circadian cycle in tune as it communicates with the body’s cells. Not only does this time keeper work to maintain cell health, it appears to regulate a system of self-repair and regeneration.* When this hard-working hormone is diminished, our biological functions are impaired.

Many people use melatonin to help improve sleep. Studies have found that melatonin increases the speed of falling asleep and adds to the quality of sleep in about 60% of people who use it.

The sublingual form is absorbed directly into the bloodstream, via the blood vessels under the tongue and in the cheeks, bypassing the liver and allowing for quick entry into the system.
