About this item

? For occasional sleeplessness ? Melatonin is a hormone that your body releases, mostly at night, to make falling asleep easier. At 500 mcg of melatonin per vegetarian capsule, this is one of our low-dose melatonin formulas for gentle sleep support.

? Inhibits oxidative stress ? Melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant: it can quench oxidizing free radical compounds. Fighting oxidative stress in this manner promotes cellular health, DNA health and restful sleep.

? Promotes immune response ? A strong dose of melatonin can support a healthy immune response. This is because melatonin can encourage specialized immune cells called T-helper cells, which rally other parts of the immune system when challenged.

? Ingredients matter ? We use only the finest raw ingredients with the purity and potency you deserve. The majority of our products are non-GMO, gluten-free and manufactured in the USA?and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every one.

? Live your healthiest life ? We believe the answers to a healthier life are within reach, and that scientific research is the key to getting us there. That’s why so many of our formulas feature specific ingredients and amounts based on scientific studies.

Who should not take melatonin?

When should I take melatonin?

Your body makes its own melatonin?but sometimes, not enough. When that happens, a melatonin supplement can help you get some rest.

Compounds called free radicals can exert oxidative stress on your cells, tissues and DNA. Melatonin helps inhibit oxidative stress.

T-helper cells are specialized immune cells that help promote your immune response. Melatonin activates T-helper cells.

We offer a variety of melatonin formulations to fit your needs. This low-dose option contains 500 mcg of melatonin per vegetarian capsule.

How much melatonin should I take for sleep?

Every person’s physiology is different. That’s why Life Extension offers melatonin formulas with as little as 300 mcg to as strong as 10 mg?with many different dosing options in between.

Is it OK to take melatonin every night?

While a melatonin supplement is designed for occasional sleeplessness, it is safe to take melatonin every night. A healthy bedtime routine may also be helpful.

How long does it take for melatonin to kick in?

For best results, take it at least an hour before bedtime. But note that melatonin affects each person differently. Plus, everyone has different sleep patterns and habits that dictate how (and when) they fall asleep.

Who should not take melatonin?

Melatonin is generally considered safe to take, but if you aren’t sure whether melatonin is right for you, consult with your healthcare practitioner before supplementing.

When should I take melatonin?

Because melatonin is naturally secreted from the pineal gland at night, supplementary melatonin should be taken at night (preferably 30-60 minutes before bedtime) to yield the best results.
