BioMed Melatonin B6 Spray Mint Flavour - Helps to Increase Total Sleep Time. 60ml

Melatonin is an essential hormone that naturally regulates sleep and reset the body’s sleep-wake cycles. Decreased melatonin production and sleep issues can develop with aging and lifestyle factors (artificial light, exposure to electrosmog from laptops/TV/computers). Taking melatonin helps regulate natural sleep patterns and improve sleep quality. When combined with vitamin B6, melatonin absorption and biosynthesis is enhanced.

Individualized Melatonin Dosage:

• Difficulty falling asleep - Take 1 to 10 sprays of melatonin 30 minutes to 1 hour before bedtime.

• Nighttime awakening and early morning insomnia - Keep on bedside table and take 1 to 10 sprays upon waking (do not take within 1 hour of getting up in the morning).

• Jet lag – Take 1 hour before desired bedtime after darkness in new destination until adaptation to new daily pattern. Especially effective when traveling eastbound over 2 or more-time zones.

• Shift work – Take 1 to 10 sprays of melatonin several hours before planning on sleep (note: avoid driving, direct sunlight or bright light after taking melatonin).

• Age-related sleep aid – Effectiveness of melatonin may increase with advancing age due to calcification of the pineal gland and decreased pineal-derived melatonin availability - take 1 to 10 sprays of melatonin 30 min to 1 hour before bedtime

• For patients that ‘do not do well’ on melatonin (restless, sleep worse, too stimulating), take 1 to 10 sprays of melatonin with 1 tsp (4 g) of glycine. Glycine has shown to improve melatonin tolerance, as it acts as a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor and decreases core body temperature to match physiological temperature during sleep. Also consider underlying symptoms of dysbiosis and liver function.

Note: If tired or groggy upon waking, reduce the dosage as one should wake feeling refreshed. Do not use melatonin during the daytime, as this can cause adverse effects and disrupt nighttime sleep
