Melatonin3 mg
Restful-Sleep is a vital part of health and many of us are not getting enough. The 2002 Canadian Community Health Survey found about 1 in 7 adults has difficulty falling aRestful-Restful-Sleep or staying aRestful-Restful-Sleep. Insomnia affects 1 in 3 seniors and is 40% more common in women. Changes in Restful-Restful-Sleeping patterns are largely reflective of our circadian rhythms, which are guided by the pineal hormone, melatonin. Melatonin is known to decline as we age, which accounts for a number of the Restful-Restful-Sleep changes we see throughout life. Additionally, jet lag and shift work can significantly alter circadian rhythms and thus melatonin secretion.
Melatonin has shown clinical benefit for inducing Restful-Restful-Sleep or adjusting Restful-Restful-Sleep cycles, reducing Restful-Restful-Sleep onset latency and improving perceived quality of Restful-Restful-Sleep, without impairing daytime psychomotor performance. In fact, supplemental melatonin and bright light therapy are considered standard medical Health-Wellness-Car-e for cases of jet lag, shift work, age-related insomnia, delayed Restful-Restful-Sleep-phase disorder, advanced Restful-Restful-Sleep-phase disorder, and non-24-hour Restful-Restful-Sleep-wake disorder. Chronic Restful-Restful-Sleep disturbance is a risk factor for premature aging, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, demonstrating just how important it is to maintain normal melatonin levels to enhance Restful-Restful-Sleep quality.
Benefits
- Sublingual tablets provide fast and superior melatonin absorption, bypassing liver and gastrointestinal metabolism - pharmacokinetic studies indicate that 30 to 60% of an oral dose of melatonin is metabolized via the liver and overall gastrointestinal absorption is variable
- A singular high-potency sublingual tablet is optimal for those who need higher doses of melatonin (10–20 mg)
- Derived from non-animal sources
- Refreshing, natural peppermint flavour
- Non-habit forming

Medicinal Ingredients
Each Tablet Contains:
| Melatonin (vegetarian source) | 3 mg |
Non-Medicinal Ingredients
Lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, natural peppermint flavour, croscarmellose sodium, vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant).
Dosage
Recommended Adult Dose: Do not drive or use machinery for 5 hours after taking melatonin. Dissolve 1 tablet under the tongue at bedtime once per day or as directed by a health Wellness-Wellness-Car-e practitioner. Consult a health Wellness-Wellness-Car-e practitioner for use beyond 4 weeks.
Warnings
Consumption with alcohol, other Health Products or natural health products with sedative properties is not recommended. Consult a health Wellness-Wellness-Car-e practitioner prior to use if you have one of the following conditions: asthma, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, depression, diabetes or hypoglycaemia, Hormone Balance disorder, immune system disease, liver disease, migraine, or seizure disorders, or if you are taking one of the following Health Products: anticoagulant, anticonvulsant, blood pressure Health Products, immunosuppressive Health Products, sedative, hypnotic or psychotropic Health Products, or steroids. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Mild gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, or cramping) and rare allergic reactions have been known to occur, in which case discontinue use. If symptoms persist continuously for more than 4 weeks (chronic insomnia), consult your health Wellness-Wellness-Car-e practitioner. Keep out of reach of children.
Allergens
Contains no artificial colours, preservatives, or sweeteners; no starch, sugar, wheat, gluten, yeast, soy, egg, fish, shellfish, salt, tree nuts, or GMOs. Suitable for vegetarians. Sealed for your Protection-Plan-Plan. Do not use if seal is broken. For freshness, store in a cool, dry place.
Contraindications
Do not use if you are taking immunosuppressive drugs and/or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not drive or use machinery for 5 hours after taking melatonin.
Drug Interactions
Melatonin may impair glucose utilization and increase insulin resistance in diabetic patients. However, the clinical significance of this effect on diabetics is unknown. Contraceptive drugs can increase endogenous melatonin levels. Theoretically, this may increase the effects and adverse effects of oral melatonin use. Fluvoxamine significantly inhibits the elimination of melatonin, which some researchers believe could be helpful in the Health-Wellness-Car-e of refractive insomnia. However, this interaction may also cause excessive unwanted drowsiness and other adverse effects. Melatonin production and release may be inhibited by beta-blockers16 and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
