Melatonin is the all-natural nightcap. It's secreted by the pineal gland, a pea-size structure at the center of the brain, as our eyes register the fall of darkness.
At night melatonin is produced to help our bodies regulate our sleep-wake cycles. The amount of it produced by our body seems to lessen as we get older. Scientists believe this may be why young people have less problem sleeping than older people.
Studies suggest that melatonin supplements can hasten sleep and ease jet lag, without the hazards or side effects of prescription sleeping pills.
It may have many other uses and has been reported to make people feel better, strengthen the immune system, and reduce free radicals in the body. Current research is underway to determine it's effect as an anti-oxidant, immno-modulator in cancer, delayed sleep-phase disorders, and jet lag. Tests are still under way so there is much to still be learned about it and its effects on the human body. Travelers and people suffering from mild sleep disorders.
Benefits:
• Promotes restful, deeper sleep
• Hastens sleep and eases jet lag
• Strengthens the immune system
• Reduces free radicals

Highly recommended for restful sleep and no grogginess the next day Review by Yvonne
Rating Thanks to menopause my ability to sleep went out the window. This wonderful product allows me a great night's sleep and no grogginess the next morning. I have no idea why the Melatonin in Australia dont work, but they dont and these do. I have given them to so many girlfriends with the same problem and they have worked for everyone. There are a lot of grateful husbands out there!! I think they are full of antioxidants too, so they are good for you regardless of sleep deprivation. (Posted on 2/16/10)

Perfect Review by antisocial
Rating I had a lot of trouble sleeping for a long time, I tried other stuff as well but I felt as if I was high for the first couple of hours and if I managed to sleep they gave me nightmares and I felt like shit the next day. With Melatonin, I simply take 1-2 before I go to bed and I'm asleep within 45 minutes max. Absolutely no side effects and I love that. I don't feel like the pills are forcing me to sleep. I feel sleepy just as I did when I was a kid. Lights must definitely be off or really low and it has to be quiet or you'll feel cranky and have trouble sleeping. Other than that, this product is perfect and I will definitely buy more really soon. I highly recommend it. (Posted on 7/4/09)

Rating Helps me sleep so much better. I did a bit of research on melatonin before i even started taking it. My problem isn't staying asleep but GETTING to sleep, sometimes i can lie awake for hours befor i fall asleep. I take 2 before i go to bed and it really helps me get to sleep, it makes my eyelids get all droopy and i feel a bit floppy and when i wake up i don't feel drowsy at all. I've read it also helps memory, but havent noticed that effect. (Posted on 1/19/09)
