Life Extension Melatonin 6 Hour Timed Release Description
- Promotes Optimal Sleep
Melatonin increases the speed of falling asleep and adds to the quality of sleep. It also has a strong antioxidant property and is important for protecting cellular DNA.
Melatonin is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan. In humans, melatonin is primarily synthesized in the pineal gland and is released mostly at night to make falling asleep easier and improve the quality of sleep. In addition to sleep, melatonin has a strong antioxidant property and has been shown to support many other aspects of health such as immune and brain function.
Timed-release melatonin releases gradually over a six hour time period to help stay asleep.
Read the entire label and follow the directions carefully prior to use.
Take one (1) tablet 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
Melatonin is naturally secreted from the pineal gland at night, and should be taken at night for optimal results.
