Source

Melatonin source: Synthetically produced N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine. Melatonin is identical in structure to the hormone produced endogenously by the pineal gland from serotonin via N-acetyltransferase and hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase. Synthetic production ensures pharmaceutical-grade purity and consistent potency. Not derived from animal pineal glands.

Flavour: Peppermint flavour. Mannitol provides mild sweetness without significantly raising blood sugar.

What Is Melatonin and How Does It Support Sleep?

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in response to darkness. As light levels fall in the evening, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (the brain's circadian clock) signals the pineal gland to begin melatonin secretion. Melatonin does not cause sleep directly the way a sedative does. It signals the timing of sleep by communicating to the circadian clock that it is nighttime, shifting the body toward sleep-readiness. Melatonin levels peak in the middle of the night and decline toward morning as light exposure increases.

What Is Sublingual Delivery and Why Is It Faster?

Sublingual means under the tongue. The sublingual mucosa is highly vascularized, containing a dense network of capillaries. When a tablet dissolves under the tongue, the active ingredient is absorbed directly through this tissue into the bloodstream, bypassing digestion in the stomach and intestine and first pass metabolism in the liver. This results in faster onset compared to swallowing a tablet. For melatonin, faster onset allows more precise timing of the melatonin signal relative to the desired bedtime.

How It Works

Melatonin and the Circadian Clock

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus is the brain's master circadian clock, governing the 24-hour sleep-wake cycle. The SCN receives light input from the retina via the retinohypothalamic tract and uses this information to time melatonin secretion from the pineal gland. Darkness triggers melatonin release; light suppresses it, particularly blue light (short-wavelength light from screens, LED lighting, and sunlight). Supplemental melatonin mimics this endogenous signal, helping to shift or reinforce the circadian timing of sleep onset.

Why Sublingual Absorption Is Faster Than Swallowing

Oral tablets must dissolve in the stomach, be absorbed through the intestinal wall, and pass through the liver (first-pass metabolism) before reaching systemic circulation. Each step adds time and reduces the amount of active ingredient that reaches the bloodstream. Sublingual absorption bypasses all three steps: the tablet dissolves under the tongue, and melatonin is absorbed directly through the sublingual mucosa into the capillary network, reaching systemic circulation rapidly. The croscarmellose sodium in this tablet is a disintegrant that causes rapid tablet breakdown on contact with moisture, accelerating dissolution.

Jet Lag and Shift Work: Circadian Disruption

Jet lag occurs when the body's circadian clock is misaligned with the local day-night cycle after rapid travel across time zones. Shift work disrupts the circadian clock by requiring wakefulness during the biological night. In both cases, endogenous melatonin secretion is timed to the old schedule, making it difficult to fall asleep at the new desired time. Supplemental melatonin taken at the target bedtime in the new time zone or schedule helps shift the circadian clock toward the desired timing.

Melatonin as a Timing Signal, Not a Sedative

Melatonin is not a sedative. It does not directly induce sleep the way benzodiazepines or antihistamines do. It acts as a chronobiotic, a compound that shifts the timing of the circadian clock. This distinction is important: melatonin is most effective when taken at the right time relative to the desired sleep onset, not simply as a sleep-inducing agent taken at any time.

Who This Is For

• Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Not for use by individuals under 18 years of age
• Ask a healthcare practitioner before use if you are taking medications for seizure, blood pressure, immune suppression, mental state or sedation, steroids, or blood thinners, or if you have cardiovascular, immune, liver, or kidney disease, seizure disorder, asthma, or diabetes
• Ask a healthcare practitioner if sleeplessness persists for more than 4 weeks (chronic insomnia)

How to Use

Adults 18 years and older: Take 1 tablet, 1 time per day. Place under the tongue and allow to dissolve completely. Do not swallow whole. Take 10 to 30 minutes before bedtime.

For jet lag: take at the target bedtime in the new time zone. For shift work: take at the desired sleep time on the new schedule. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep bottle tightly sealed melatonin is sensitive to light.
