21st Century, Melatonin

100% Authentic!- Imported from USA

21st Century Melatonin is a dietary supplement that provides melatonin, a hormone that plays a key role in regulating your sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm). 

• Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It helps regulate the sleep cycle by signaling to the body that it's time to sleep. Melatonin levels naturally rise in the evening and fall in the morning, aligning with the body's natural circadian rhythm.
• Melatonin supplements are commonly used to help manage sleep disorders, jet lag, or to improve overall sleep quality.

Benefits of Melatonin:

• Improves Sleep Quality: Melatonin is widely used to help individuals fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and improve overall sleep quality.
• Jet Lag Relief: It’s often used by travelers to help adjust to different time zones and minimize the effects of jet lag.
• Shift Work Support: For people working irregular hours or night shifts, melatonin can help in adjusting their sleep-wake cycle to improve sleep during the day.
• Helps with Insomnia: Melatonin may be useful for people who struggle with insomnia or have trouble falling asleep at a regular time.
• Antioxidant Properties: Melatonin has antioxidant effects and may help protect the cells in your body from damage caused by free radicals.

Dosage & Serving Size:

• The dosage of 21st Century Melatonin typically ranges from 1 mg to 10 mg per tablet, depending on the specific product formulation.
• The typical starting dose for sleep support is around 1 to 3 mg taken 30 minutes before bedtime. For jet lag or shift work, doses up to 5 mg or higher are sometimes used, but it's important to start with a lower dose to assess tolerance.
• It’s always a good idea to start with the smallest effective dose to avoid potential side effects, especially since melatonin supplements can be more potent than your body’s natural melatonin production.

Usage:

• Take melatonin 30 minutes to an hour before bedtime to help promote sleep. It is typically taken once daily.
• Consistency is Key: To get the most benefit, melatonin should be taken consistently at the same time each night to help regulate the sleep-wake cycle.
• With or Without Food: Melatonin can be taken with or without food, but if you find it causes any stomach discomfort, you may try taking it with food.

Side Effects & Precautions:

• Common Side Effects: Melatonin is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience side effects such as:
  • Drowsiness or grogginess the next day
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
• Excessive Drowsiness: Taking too much melatonin, especially at high doses, can result in excessive drowsiness or difficulty waking up in the morning.
• Hormonal Effects: Since melatonin is a hormone, it may interfere with other hormones in the body. It’s best to consult a healthcare provider if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any hormone-related conditions (e.g., endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, or breast cancer).
• Drug Interactions: Melatonin can interact with certain medications, such as blood thinners, blood pressure medications, immune suppressants, and others. Always consult with a healthcare provider before using melatonin if you’re taking other medications.
• Not for Long-Term Use: Melatonin is typically intended for short-term use. For chronic sleep issues, it's important to address underlying causes and talk to a healthcare professional.

Additional Information:

• Natural Sleep Aid: Unlike prescription sleep medications, melatonin is a natural alternative with fewer side effects. However, it’s important to maintain a healthy sleep environment (e.g., dark, quiet, and cool room) to maximize the effects of melatonin.
• Sleep Hygiene: For optimal results, combine melatonin with good sleep hygiene practices, such as avoiding caffeine late in the day, limiting screen time before bed, and establishing a consistent bedtime routine.
