Details
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

a Review by Michelle
Rating This melatonin product has been of great assistant. I had been suffering from insomnia for more than 13 years since the age of 18, and it had greatly affected my life. I could not enjoy the beauty of my sleep and thus wake up haggardly the next day. There were times that I went into depression and thoughts about giving up my life. Nobody would understand how torturous it was for not being able to sleep the whole night. I was praying each day that miracle would happen 1 day and would again sleep like a baby. Indeed, on May 2011, my dream comes true – regret that I did not find this product earlier. I definitely recommend this product to insomnia sufferers out there – hope they are just as lucky as I. I also like to add that, do not rely on this product alone because it would be more effective if you do some warm up exercise before you lie on the bed (eg. Rotating your neck 5 times to the left and vice versa, stretching your arms, feeling your own inhalation and exhalation). Apart from these, drink a cup of chamomile tea or hot milk with honey before sleep will definitely work. I will definitely continue buying this product. Good luck!! (Posted on 6/2/11)

NOW Melatonin Review Review by AstroNutrition In-House Review
Rating Melatonin is a hormone created by the pineal gland located in the middle of the brain. Melatonin production is increased by darkness and decreased by light. The body is less alert when melatonin levels increase. Thus melatonin is key for promoting sleep.
In order for melatonin to be produced it needs to be the right time of day (typically between 9pm and 9am) as well as dark. At night, melatonin production can be suppressed by bright indoor lights.
Melatonin supplements can be found over-the-counter. Since, it is a natural substance found in some foods it does not require a prescription and thus the FDA allows it to be sold under the US Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994.
Natural as well as man made/synthetic melatonin supplements are available. Natural supplements come from animals and can contain viruses. Thus it can be safer to take synthetic supplements
Melatonin is often taken to help one sleep. It is also frequently taken to help limit the effects of jet lag and shift work, which disrupt the body’s normal sleep/wake cycle. When used to treat insomnia, it seems to be most effective for people over age 55. It is probably more effective in older people due to melatonin production decreasing with age.
Melatonin supplementation is also used to potentially improve growth hormone response to exercise. It might also decrease damaging free radicals in the body.
Additionally, melatonin seems capable of improving the immune system’s function, which might help it prevent or treat cancer. However, the scientific data is inconclusive.
Melatonin is not a regulated drug, so it is usually manufactured without strict controls. Thus the amount of melatonin stated on a bottle can be inaccurate. When accurately measured a typical dose is 1 to 3mg. Note that melatonin supplements improve the body’s melatonin hormone levels up to 20 times more than the body naturally creates. Studies show only small amounts of melatonin are necessary for effectiveness and larger doses might be less effective than smaller doses.
Side effects of taking melatonin are uncommon even at high doses. Potential side effects are nausea, headache, dizziness, and drowsiness. It is not recommended for children, pregnant or nursing women, and people with heart issues, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, or seizure problems to take melatonin. (Posted on 2/20/11) -
Good deal for a good product Review by Miss Norway
Rating Melatonin is expensive in Norway, so I think I got a pretty good deal. And besides- I like Now Foods. My first choice in supplements. But I didn't do enough research... I thougt you shipped from England... If I had known you shipped from Canada, I wouldn't have ordered since it's illegal to import melatonin from overseas (outside the EU area). But the customs didn't check the parcel this time, so it all went very well. Shipping was fast:-) (Posted on 8/16/10)
