Nature’s way of supporting healthy sleep*
What is Melatonin?
Melatonin is a hormone produced in the brain by the pineal gland, from the amino acid tryptophan. The synthesis and release of melatonin are stimulated by darkness and suppressed by light, suggesting the involvement of melatonin in circadian rhythm and regulation of diverse body functions. Levels of melatonin in the blood are highest prior to bedtime.
What does Melatonin do?
Darkness stimulates the production of melatonin from your pineal gland thus telling your body to sleep. With age, people tend to lose the ability to produce melatonin. This may explain why older people have disrupted sleep patterns and tend to go to bed and wake up earlier than when they were younger. A study of 334 people aged 55 and older found that prolonged-release melatonin produced significant and clinically meaningful improvements in sleep quality, morning alertness, sleep onset latency, and quality of life.*
People who work unusual hours such as night shifts or have added stress may also benefit from the sleep aid melatonin.
Melatonin is a very popular supplement for maintaining normal sleep cycles, especially when changing time zones. Because traveling through many time zones can upset your biological clock, melatonin can help adjust your sleeping patterns to the new time zone.*

Melatonin is becoming increasing popular as more people realise how helpful it can be with our busy lifestyles. It is particularly of use to older people where their naturally occurring melatonin levels decrease. We have been using it now for some years and take it when we feel we need a good nights sleep or are out of our normal sleep patterns.Value Quality Price
Highly recommended. -

The Melatonin has been excellent.Quality Value Price
My wife has had insomnia for years and most things available here are either habit-forming or homeopathic.
After the first week she has been getting a full 6 hours every night.
She has given away samples to her friends, so the next order is a bit early, but we hope it continues to be the ideal sleep inducer.

Melatonin is a wonderful supplement. I cured my insomnia with it. I used to suffer from it badly but when I discovered Melatonin it took me about a week to sleep like a baby. I was suffering from a hormonal imbalance and had higher estrogen to progesterone which can often lead to insomnia. My mind has always been very active as well and I was not able to find anything natural which would be calming me down. Than I read about melatonin and ordered it from your website and I was absolutely amazed how effective it was in inducing sleep. I would take a tablet and half an hour later I would be crawling to my bed because I was falling asleep. I also gave some to my boss who is in her 50s and she has been having trouble sleeping for years. I cured her insomnia too and now she would not travel anywhere without her white little pills and she travels a lot for work.Quality Value Price -

As a 40-year old stressed, working wife and mother of 3 young children, I really need and value my sleep. I rarely have a problem falling to sleep, but when something or someone wakes me up in the middle of the night, I often lay awake for hours trying to fall back to sleep. I decided to try a sleep aid but wanted something natural and that would not make me feel groggy in the morning. I started taking Supplement Spot's 5 mg Melatonin about 3 weeks ago and instantly noticed a huge difference. I am sleeping much more soundly and when awakened (which happens at least once or twice a night), I fall back to sleep very quickly without even trying. Now I do not go to sleep without taking my Metatonin first. I highly recommend this product for anyone struggling with insomnia.Quality Value Price
