Ingredients explained
Melatonin
Melatonin signals the body that it is night-time by binding to melatonin receptors in the brain, which may help regulate the sleep-wake cycle and reduce time to fall asleep.
Caution: May cause drowsiness; avoid driving or operating machinery after use and do not combine with alcohol or other sedatives.
Melatonin (sustained release)
A sustained release form slowly delivers melatonin across several hours, which may help maintain night-time melatonin levels for prolonged sleep support.
Caution: Extended drowsiness may occur into the morning if taken too late; start with the suggested serving to assess response.
Melotime (8-hour sustained release melatonin)
This 8-hour release matrix gradually provides melatonin to extend signalling through the night, which may help reduce awakenings.
Caution: If sensitive to melatonin, prolonged-release forms may feel stronger; avoid use with alcohol or sedative products.
How they work together
Immediate-release melatonin helps with sleep onset, while sustained-release forms continue to deliver melatonin for several hours. Together, they provide initial support to fall asleep and ongoing support to stay asleep through the night.
