What This Product Is

Designs for Health offers melatonin in two formats: 3 mg capsules and 6 mg sustained-release tablets (Melatonin SRT). Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland that helps regulate sleep by controlling the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, known as the circadian rhythm or 24-hour biological clock. The brain releases more melatonin toward the end of the day to prepare for sleep and decreases production in the early morning as the sun rises.*

Melatonin also supports a healthy immune response and antioxidant status in the body. Melatonin SRT features sustained-release technology to support sleep quality throughout the night, especially for individuals who have difficulty sleeping through the night. Factors that may reduce natural melatonin production include aging, poor sleeping habits, insufficient sunlight exposure, blue light exposure near bedtime, excessive mental stress, high caffeine or alcohol intake near bedtime, certain medications, and inadequate intake of nutrient cofactors including tryptophan, vitamin B6, folate, SAMe, and iron.*

Mechanism of Action

Circadian Rhythm Regulation

Melatonin helps regulate the body’s sleep response when exposed to natural light, controlling the circadian rhythm or 24-hour biological clock. Supplementation supports the natural sleep-wake cycle, particularly when natural production may be reduced.*

Sustained-Release Technology (SRT)

The 6 mg Melatonin SRT tablet features sustained-release technology that gradually releases melatonin throughout the night, supporting sleep quality for individuals who have difficulty sleeping through the night rather than just falling asleep.*

Antioxidant and Immune Support

Beyond sleep regulation, melatonin supports a healthy immune response and antioxidant status in the body, providing additional health benefits alongside its primary role in sleep-wake cycle regulation.*

Applications

• Individuals seeking sleep quality support*

• Those who have difficulty sleeping through the night (Melatonin SRT)*

• Individuals adjusting to changes in time zone*

• Those whose natural melatonin production may be reduced due to aging or lifestyle factors*

• Individuals wanting antioxidant support alongside sleep support*

Product Questions

How does Melatonin/Melatonin SRT compare to Insomnitol for sleep support?

Melatonin and Melatonin SRT provide melatonin alone (3 mg or 6 mg) for circadian rhythm regulation and sleep quality. Insomnitol is a comprehensive sleep formula combining melatonin with 5-HTP, L-theanine, PharmaGABA, valerian, passionflower, and other calming nutrients. Choose standalone melatonin for straightforward circadian support, or Insomnitol for comprehensive multi-pathway sleep support.*

When should I choose Melatonin SRT over standard Melatonin?

Melatonin SRT (6 mg sustained-release tablets) is designed for individuals who have difficulty sleeping through the night, as its sustained-release technology gradually releases melatonin throughout the night. Standard Melatonin (3 mg capsules) is better suited for individuals who primarily need help with sleep onset.*

Who may benefit most from Melatonin?

Individuals experiencing difficulty with sleep quality, those adjusting to time zone changes, people whose natural melatonin production may be reduced due to aging or lifestyle factors, and anyone seeking sleep support with additional antioxidant and immune benefits.*
