Composition and dosage: what is in one capsule
One vegetarian capsule contains 5 mg of melatonin - a higher single dose compared to the popular 1-3 mg formats, which are usually chosen for persistent sleep disorders or when changing time zones.
- Melatonin - 5 mg per serving
- Capsule - vegetable polysaccharides (gelatin-free)
- Excipients - cellulose, magnesium stearate (vegetable origin)
The ingredients are minimalistic: no dyes, sweeteners, or unnecessary fillers. This is important for those who are watching what they eat.
How to take Now Foods Melatonin 5 mg?
The manufacturer recommends taking 1 capsule before bedtime. If 5 mg seems like too much to start with, you can open the capsule and divide the contents into several doses. This is convenient if a person starts with a smaller dose and gradually finds the amount that is effective for them.
60 capsules in a package are two months of daily intake with the standard regimen of "1 capsule at night."
How is Now Foods melatonin different from regular pills?
Vegetarian capsules (vcaps) dissolve faster than pressed tablets - the active substance begins to be absorbed earlier. For melatonin, which should be effective before falling asleep, this is practically important.
Now Foods also positions this melatonin as a powerful free radical scavenger. It is naturally synthesized in the pineal gland and is present in significant quantities in the gastrointestinal tract, where it is involved in maintaining normal gastrointestinal function and regulating the immune system.
Who is this format suitable for?
- Vegetarians and vegans - gelatin-free capsule
- Those who frequently change time zones or work shifts
- People with difficulty falling asleep who have not been helped by lower doses (1-3 mg)
- Those who want a minimalist composition without unnecessary additives
