Melatonin is a hormone that plays a key role in regulating the sleep–wake cycle (circadian rhythm). Melatonin Melts contains 1 mg melatonin in an easily dissolvable under the tongue melt. Melatonin is produced mainly in the pineal gland of the brain in response to changes in light exposure and helps maintain healthy sleep patterns. In addition, it has antioxidant and immune-modulating actions1. It can be taken as a supplement at nighttime to help with these functions and for short-term treatment of difficulty sleeping such as from jet lag or shift work2. **
