What is in Melatonin Spray
Any questions?
The sublingual spray provides optimal efficacy, enabling the melatonin to be absorbed faster and better than with oral administration, as the active principles go straight into the bloodstream without being digested. It also allows a timed release effect , with its effects lasting several hours, particularly helpful for those who tend to wake in the night or early hours.
1) Review your lifestyle, taking care to avoid frequent changes to your sleep routine, excessive alcohol consumption and smoking, as well as the use of electronic devices in bed (mobile phones, laptops, tablets …) Establish a calming ritual before going to sleep such as listening to soft music (2), reading, or doing yoga or breathing exercises.
2) Restrict intense visual, physical, auditory or mental stimulation in the two hours before bed.
3) Eat dinner at least two hours before going to bed, prioritising foods rich in tryptophan, an amino acid involved in melatonin production which encourages drowsiness. The best sources are seeds, wholegrain rice, dairy products, eggs, pulses, chocolate and brewer’s yeast.
Toxicology researchers investigating a range of different doses (from 1mg to 300mg), have found no particular adverse effects associated with moderate treatment durations (3).
Note: melatonin is less effective at inducing sleep in those who are stressed, who brood over the day’s events, or who are suffering from pain of various kinds. Where this kind of common issue is responsible for sleep problems, it is better to turn to other supplements such as Natural Sleep Formula.
If you’re suffering from a serious disease, you should only use melatonin under medical supervision. Care should also be taken if you’re taking certain drugs: fluvoxamine, anticoagulants and beta-blockers.
It is also essential to avoid driving, or using any potentially dangerous machinery, in the five hours after you take the supplement.
Each spray delivers around 1mg of melatonin combined with 1.5mg of vitamin B6. The dose can be easily adapted, depending on your size/build, and especially on how you feel when you wake up: if, after taking it, you find it difficult to wake up in the morning, the dose is a little too high. If, on the other hand, you are still not getting sufficient sleep, you can increase the dose.
It’s best to use the spray half an hour before going to bed. Melatonin receptors are generally more sensitive around 7.00-8.00pm (1).
No significant side effects with the time-release form of melatonin (2018) (4).
A daily oral dose of around 2mg is generally very well-tolerated, with no rebound or ‘hangover’ effect, and no interaction with medications used to treat hypertension, diabetes and inflammation.
Melatonin, effective for treating primary sleep disorders and those associated with particular neurological conditions (March 2019) (5). Scientists have noted, however, that it may be necessary to conduct research into sleep problems in children.
More melatonin reaches the bloodstream when administered in spray form (2012)(6). Sublingual absorption seems to prevent part of the melatonin being captured by the liver and maximises its entry into the bloodstream.
Melatonin in spray form also helps normalise oral health (2015) (7).
Melatonin activates the genes responsible for repairing DNA damage (2017) (8). A team of researchers recently showed how important it is to sleep at night for significantly reducing the risk of cancer. The study’s authors were investigating night shift workers who had to sleep during part of the day. They observed that not only did these night workers have much lower melatonin levels than day workers, but they also had lower levels of the molecule 8-hydroxygeoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) in their urine. This was a really interesting discovery as 8-OH-dG reflects the body’s activity in repairing DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species. The greater the level of 8-OH-dG in urine, the more effective this repair capacity. Night workers appear to be less effective at repairing damage to DNA, damage which over the long term, can lead to cancer, or accelerate ageing.

Great product. Great quality. Fantastic web partner. Now, does this product work. I guess it will greatly depend on your personal situation. I do not feel to be super responsive to melatonin but I definitely like to use it in synergy with other products and teas.
