Melatonin tablets with a bilayer structure - a format that combines a rapid onset of action and a gradual release of the substance throughout the night. Natrol Melatonin 5 mg is positioned as a supplement to support nighttime sleep, particularly with episodic difficulty falling asleep or frequent nighttime awakenings.
Composition and form: what's inside the pill
One tablet contains 5 mg of melatonin and has a two-layer structure. The outer layer dissolves quickly - this ensures the entry of the substance in the first minutes after taking. The inner layer is released gradually, which, according to the manufacturer, maintains physiological levels of melatonin throughout the night.
Excipients: microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, silicon dioxide, methylcellulose, glycerin. Without medicinal components - only a dietary supplement.
How much melatonin should I take and when?
The manufacturer recommends 1 tablet 30 minutes before bedtime for adults. A bottle of 100 tablets is a supply for about three months of daily use or more if taken in courses.
The 5 mg dosage is a mid-range for those who have already tried lower doses (1-3 mg) and want more pronounced support. If you have not taken melatonin before, some experts recommend starting with the minimum dosage and adjusting as needed.
Who is the two-layer format suitable for?
The bilayer tablet is particularly useful for those who wake up during the night and cannot fall back asleep - this is the scenario the controlled-release layer is designed for. For those who only have difficulty falling asleep (but sleep without awakening), a fast-dissolving format with a lower dose may be sufficient.
The product does not contain medicinal substances and is positioned as a food supplement for occasional use. It is not a substitute for drug therapy for chronic sleep disorders - for systematic problems, you should consult a doctor.
Storage and release form
The bottle contains 100 tablets. Store in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight, at room temperature. The tablets are hard, not chewable and not dissolvable - swallow whole with water.
