{"product_id":"melaton-5","title":"Melaton-5","description":"\u003cp\u003eThorne offers melatonin in both 3 mg (Melatonin-3) and 5 mg (Melatonin-5) capsules. Melatonin, the primary hormone of the pineal gland, is a powerful \"chronobiotic\" that helps maintain the body's normal circadian rhythms.* In individuals who have difficulty sleeping or who have altered circadian rhythms because of jet lag or night shift work, melatonin supplementation promotes the resynchronization of this cycle.* Supplementation can also benefit those whose difficulty sleeping is caused by the aging-related decrease in the body's ability to synthesize melatonin from the amino acid tryptophan.* Research indicates melatonin exerts its sleep-promoting efficacy by decreasing the amount of time needed to fall asleep, by promoting the ability to stay asleep, and by enhancing the depth of sleep.*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMelatonin administration from 0.3 mg to 5.0 mg has been shown to exert a sedative-like effect.* When supplemented prior to the onset of the body's normal melatonin secretion, even a low amount of melatonin can promote sleep.* Melatonin apparently enhances the effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) via direct interaction with GABA receptors, thus resulting in relaxation.* Thorne's Melaton-3 supplies three mg of melatonin in each capsule, and Melaton-5 supplies 5 mg per capsule and is used when a higher amount of melatonin is desired. Melatonin also has significant antioxidant activity.* Adequate melatonin levels have been reported to be a positive factor in cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, GI, and bone health.*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-teams=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis product has been third-party tested and certified to verify what's in the package matches what's on the label and to confirm it contains no unsafe levels of contaminants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microorganisms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake 1 capsule at bedtime or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarnings:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALLERGY WARNING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGNANCY WARNING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf pregnant or nursing, do not use this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTERACTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause melatonin may potentiate the effect of blood-thinning medications, Melaton-5 should be used with caution or avoided in individuals on anticoagulant therapy or prior to surgery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thorne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44777371336844,"sku":"hcrcT1SF780","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/9205\/4668\/files\/sf780__v732ebf4f6dde9676458c8ead00d90b106378dfc6.png?v=1778252530","url":"https:\/\/hillsborocrc.com\/products\/melaton-5","provider":"HCRC Wellness Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
