Melatonin is a natural sleep aid that helps your body establish healthy sleep patterns. Herb Almanac offers two varieties of melatonin, Nature's sunshine Melatonin (1 mg) and Melatonin Extra (3 mg), and Herbal Mountain's Melatonin (3mg). Melatonin is not only a powerful antioxidant that benefits the immune system, melatonin also plays important roles in the aging process and production of energy.

Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally produced by the pineal gland at night. The aging process decreases the amount of melatonin produced by the body and supplementation may be necessary. Our Melatonin's are all-natural, non-addictive supplements beneficial for promoting deep sleep. In fact, melatonin supplements are also helpful for jet lag and occasional insomnia.

(Melatonin should not be given to children, teenagers, pregnant women or lactating women.)

Nature's Sunshine: take one capsule of Melatonin (1mg) or Melatonin Extra (3mg) 30 minutes before sleep. Herbal Mountain: take one Melatonin (3mg) tablet 20-30 minutes before bedtime. Do not take more than two tablets daily.

Nature's Sunshine: Melatonin Extra (3 mg) contains 3 mg of melatonin plus 30 IU of vitamin E, Siberian ginseng root, and ginkgo biloba leaves and concentrate; Melatonin (1 mg) contains 1 mg of melatonin with 30 IU of vitamin E and no other active ingredients.
