Nature's Harmony Timed Release Melatonin in a 2 mg tablet is a long-lasting (6- to 8- hour) dosage form appropriate for those individuals who have difficulty sleeping through the night and tend to wake too soon. Melatonin promotes normal sleep patterns and more restful sleep. It also eases shift work transitions, and may relieve jet lag without the hazards or side effects of prescription sleeping pills.

Ingredients

In the natural sleep-wake cycle, darkness triggers the release of melatonin. It is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain. Once released into the bloodstream, melatonin prepares the body for sleep, decreasing temperature, alertness and performance. Melatonin supplements interact with melatonin receptors in the brain in the same way to induce sleep and help regulate the body's normal sleep patterns.

In rare instances, melatonin supplements may cause headache, transient depression, daytime fatigue, daytime drowsiness, dizziness, reduced alertness, abdominal cramps or irritability. Do not operate a motor vehicle or machinery within five hours of taking this product. Do not use this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have liver disease (melatonin is metabolized in the liver).
