Sustained-Release Melatonin Designed for Gradual Nighttime Support
NOW Melatonin 5 mg Sustained Release is a nighttime supplement formulated for adults who prefer melatonin in a gradual-release format rather than an immediate-release tablet. Each tablet provides 5 mg of melatonin and is specifically designed to release over approximately 4 hours, allowing for steadier and more gradual utilization after bedtime.
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced primarily by the pineal gland and plays an important role in regulating the body’s normal sleep-wake cycle. Supplemental melatonin can be incorporated into an occasional nighttime routine to support normal sleep patterns when schedule changes, travel or other factors disrupt regular bedtime habits.
What makes this NOW Foods formula particularly useful is its sustained-release delivery system. Instead of delivering the entire 5 mg serving immediately, the tablet is formulated for gradual release over a four-hour period. This makes it a distinctive option for people specifically looking for extended nighttime melatonin delivery.
Melatonin is also naturally present in relatively high concentrations in the gastrointestinal tract and has antioxidant activity. According to the product label, this formula supports normal gastrointestinal function in addition to its primary role in maintaining a healthy sleep-wake cycle.
