Melatonin serves as the body’s biological clock, managing the sleep and wake cycles. Age, everyday stress and diet choices induced by busy lifestyles can take a toll on the body’s production of melatonin.†
Natrol Melatonin, the #1 melatonin brand in America,^ is a nighttime sleep aid that assists with occasional sleeplessness. It helps to establish normal sleep patterns to give you a more restful, relaxing sleep and in turn, better overall health.†
Natrol Melatonin Calm Sleep also contains L-Theanine which is derived from green teas and undergoes a process where it is separated from the caffeine. Just like green tea, it increases alpha waves in the brain that are associated with relaxation and calmness. The fast dissolve tablets come in strawberry flavor that tastes great and can be taken anytime, anywhere. No water needed. It is fast-acting and perfect for those that have a hard time with swallowing vitamins and supplements.†
Q: What is Melatonin?
A: Also known as the “sleep hormone,” melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It regulates your sleep-wake cycle, telling your body when it’s time for sleep.
Q: What does “Fast Dissolve” mean?
A: “Fast Dissolve” is a delivery method whereby the tablet dissolves on your tongue and can be swallowed without liquids. Natrol’s unique Fast Dissolve technology allows tablets to dissolve up to 30 times faster than regular tablets.
Q: What are the possible side effects I might experience from taking Melatonin?
A: The most common side effects associated with melatonin include headache, stomach discomfort, morning grogginess, daytime "hangover" or feeling of a "heavy head."
