Ostrovit MELATONIN is a dietary supplement in tablets containing melatonin. The Melatonin product is especially recommended for people struggling with falling asleep, working in shift mode, travelling and frequently changing time zones.

MELATONIN is a derivative of tryptophan. It occurs in our body as a hormone produced by the pineal gland. In smaller amounts melatonin is produced by the digestive system, leukocytes or bone marrow. It is called the sleep hormone, because it plays an important role during the regulation of sleep time, as well as walking throughout the day. It is responsible for the feeling of drowsiness and for lowering the temperature and blood pressure during the night. An important problem is the sudden change of time zone, the so-called "Jet-lag". Symptoms are caused by the disturbance of the biological clock. The proper functioning of the biological clock depends on the production of melatonin and cortisol. Melatonin helps in shortening the time needed to fall asleep and in relieving the subjective feeling of a sudden change of time zone syndrome. Melatonin additionally helps to reduce oxidative stress.

DIRECTIONS: Consume 1 serving (1 tablet) per day, 30 minutes before bedtime. A beneficial effect occurs when 1 mg of melatonin is consumed shortly before going to bed or 0.5 mg shortly before going to sleep on the first day of travel and for the next few days after arriving at the destination.
