Description

Thorne's Melaton-3 is NSF Certified for Sport®. Thorne 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.*

Melatonin 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 3 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.*

Because athletes need to know their supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of nearly 300 substances banned by many major athletic organizations.

FAQs
Frequently asked question

What is the difference between Melaton-3 and Melaton-5?

Melaton-3 contains 3 mg of melatonin per capsule, while Melaton-5 contains 5 mg. If you're new to melatonin supplementation, starting with the lower 3 mg dose is often recommended to assess your body's response. Both are NSF Certified for Sport®, making them safe choices for athletes. Consult your healthcare provider to determine which dosage best fits your sleep and recovery needs.

Is Melaton-3 worth buying for athletes and active individuals?

Yes, Melaton-3 is an excellent choice for athletes. It carries the NSF Certified for Sport® designation, meaning it's tested for banned substances and label accuracy. Quality sleep is critical for muscle recovery, performance, and focus. Whether you're dealing with jet lag from travel competitions or irregular training schedules, Melaton-3 supports healthy sleep cycles without the risk of contaminated or mislabeled supplements.

What does melatonin actually do in the body?

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland that regulates your body's internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm. It signals to your body when it's time to sleep and wake. As a supplement, melatonin helps reinforce this cycle, particularly useful when it's been disrupted by travel, shift work, or poor sleep habits.

Can Melaton-3 help with jet lag?

Yes. Melatonin is widely recognized for helping the body resynchronize its sleep-wake cycle after rapid time zone changes. Taking Melaton-3 at your destination's local bedtime can help your body adjust more quickly, reducing the grogginess and fatigue commonly associated with jet lag. It's a popular choice for frequent travelers and competing athletes who cross multiple time zones.

How should I take Melaton-3 for best results?

Most people take Melaton-3 about 30 to 60 minutes before their intended bedtime. For jet lag, it's best taken at the target destination's local sleep time. Since individual responses vary, start with one capsule and adjust as needed. Always follow the label directions and consult a healthcare professional if you have questions about timing or dosage for your specific situation.

Is Melaton-3 safe for long-term use?

Melatonin is generally considered safe for short-term use and is well-tolerated by most people. Long-term use should be discussed with a healthcare provider, as individual needs vary. Melaton-3 is manufactured by Thorne, a brand known for rigorous quality standards and NSF Certified for Sport® testing, ensuring purity and accurate dosing in every capsule.
