Melatonin is a hormone in the body that induces natural sleep. It overcomes sleep disorders and improves sleep quality by regulating people's natural sleep. Our melatonin 10mg controlled-release tablet has a core containing 7.5mg of melatonin and Vitamin B6, and is wrapped with a sustained-release coating. The sustained-release coating is coated with 2.5 mg of melatonin, the outer layer is a protective layer. 2.5 mg of melatonin is released quickly after the melatonin is swallowed, and the concentration in the blood is increased rapidly, and people will feel drowsiness. The 7.5 mg of melatonin in the core of tablet will be released at a constant rate for 5 to 8 hours, continuously maintaining the concentration in the blood, allowing you to maintain a good deep sleep until dawn.

That is to say, melatonin 10mg controlled-release tablet can quick-release outer layer firstly, then controlled-release inner layer.

Because the half-period of melatonin is only half an hour. Taking ordinary melatonin tablets and even take large doses, the concentration of melatonin in the blood may decay below the threshold in the middle of the night or early morning, which will cause the person to wake up and not fall asleep again. Or you need to get up and take it again, which will affect the quality of sleep.

Melatonin is mainly an amine hormone produced by the pineal gland of mammals and humans. The human pineal gland is a bean-sized tissue attached to the posterior wall of the third ventricle. There are also reports that the retina and accessory lacrimal glands of mammals can also produce a small amount of melatonin; the eyes, brain and skin of certain temperature-changing animals, such as frogs, and certain algae can also synthesize melatonin.

3. Benefit for others, it can also regulate immunity and biological rhythms.

3) Can melatonin take safely?

As an endogenous neuroendocrine hormone, melatonin has its own metabolic pathway in the human body. Wheather additional supplementation cause excessive melatonin content in the body and increase the metabolic burden? Firstly, we must be noted that melatonin has some advantages, such as small dose, effect stronger and non-addiction.

There has some data we should pay attention. The secretion of melatonin in the body will begin to decrease after we are over 30 years old; the secretion of melatonin in the body is only about half of the level by the age of 45; there is very little melatonin in the body when you are more than  the age of 70. In addition, studies have found that melatonin is effective for insomnia caused by reduced melatonin secretion. Therefore, people who are older and suffer from insomnia can supplement melatonin appropriately.

Therefore, melatonin can also be supplemented at this time to help improve sleep quality.

5) How to make melatonin more efficacy?

There are other ways to promote the body's production of natural melatonin although taking melatonin may help you have a good sleeping. You can increase the production of melatonin by basking in the sun in the morning and afternoon. The blue light emitted by the computer or mobile phone interferes with the production of melatonin in the brain, so stop watching the computer and phone an hour before going to bed, far away from the TV screen at least 1.8 meters.

In fact, what needs to be adjusted may not be the level of melatonin itself, but the time of its release time of melatonin. We need to reduce our exposure under the blue light in the few hours before going to bed. In addition, you can eat some foods which rich in melatonin before going to bed, such as wolfberries, walnuts, almonds, pineapples, bananas and oranges.
