Melatonin is secreted in a circadian rhythm and helps to regulate the body's sleep/wake cycle. In addition to supporting natural rest, melatonin can also function as an antioxidant. Offered in both a regular-release and sustained-release formulation, our melatonin can fit your patients’ individual needs. *
