How it works
Supplemental melatonin is effective in helping people fall asleep.* It’s especially helpful for those following groups:
- Adults over 50. Production of melatonin declines with age, so melatonin supplements can help replenish what time takes away.
- Shift workers and travelers. Melatonin can become dysregulated if you work the night shift or travel across time zones.
- Children and adults who struggle with attention. Individuals with attention issues often experience delays in the release of melatonin.
- Troubled sleepers. People who have had difficulty with sleep for at least five years have been shown to have the lowest levels of melatonin.
Because melatonin is fully metabolized and out of the body in just 4 hours, melatonin doesn’t help people who awaken in the middle of the night — or those who wake up earlier in the morning than they’d like.
Melatonin-SR™ is the answer. Because it provides an initial burst of melatonin at bedtime, followed by a gradual release of more melatonin over the course of the night, Melatonin-SR™ helps you fall asleep — and stay asleep.*

It really works
Other melatonin products help me go to sleep, but I don’t stay asleep. With Melatonin-SR, I stay asleep all night or easily go back to sleep after getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.

our ingredients
Melatonin is the hormone your pineal gland secretes at night to prepare your body for sleep.* MicroActive® Melatonin supplies melatonin in a special, micronized, sustained-release matrix using patent-pending MicroActive® technology. This form of melatonin is released into the bloodstream in two discrete stages. A quick initial burst of 40% of the dose helps you fall asleep quickly.* The remaining 60% is released gradually over 7 hours to help you stay asleep until dawn.*
Sustained-release melatonin has been tested in kids, adults, and seniors and has been shown to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, increase time spent asleep, and improve sleep quality and next-day alertness.* It can also help recalibrate your internal clock when you travel across time zones.*

Not All Sustained Release Melatonin
Is the Same
Melatonin-SR was the first sustained-release melatonin product on the market, and it remains the best. A dissolution study found that one competitor formula had an initial burst of 60% melatonin (too much), with an additional release of just 5% over the next 2 hours. Another had an initial burst of 20% (too little), with an additional release of just 20% over the next 5 hours. Only MicroActive Melatonin releases a quick initial burst of 40% (just right), followed by a gradual release of another 50% over 5 hours, and a final release of 10% at hour 7. That’s how it helps you fall asleep, reduces nighttime awakening, and keeps you sleeping until dawn.*

Protectively
Packaged in the USA
We package almost all of our products in glass bottles with metal lids for one simple reason: Glass and metal do the best job of protecting our supplements from light, oxygen, and moisture — all of which can degrade vitamins, minerals, botanicals, and other nutraceuticals and lessen their potency and freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How long does the Melatonin stay in your system?
The MicroActive® Melatonin in our Melatonin-SR™ formula has been shown to offer 7 hours of sustained release.
-
How does this differ from other melatonin products on the market?
Unlike other Melatonin products, Melatonin-SR™ is released in two-stages: an initial rapid release to help you to fall asleep and then a slower sustained release to help you to stay asleep until morning.*
-
Is it possible for the polymers in the formula to bio accumulate over time?
The polymers like HPMC are not absorbed by the system. HPMC is a soluble fiber that is also not fermentable by the colon bacteria. Beta cyclodextrin is also not absorbed from the stomach and small intestines. It can be broken down by the enzyme amylase to form open chain sugars and glucose. Carnuaba wax is highly insoluble and is not absorbed. So, all the polymers are eliminated from the GI tract, no chance of bioaccumulation.
