So what is melatonin? It is a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland that signals the body when it is time to sleep. Unfortunately that production can be disrupted by multiple factors, including age, travel, shift work and more. Adding a melatonin supplement to your nighttime routine can help support healthy levels in the body so you can get the restorative sleep you need.
As an antioxidant, it also works to protect the body from free radicals, notably the eyes where it may offer protection for retinal health. Appropriate melatonin levels have also been tied to healthy cognition and stress management.
Studies have shown that 1 to 5 mg of melatonin per day can support a healthy circadian rhythm, improve sleep quality and help you stay asleep longer. Swanson offers a range of melatonin potencies—from a 500 mcg dose for those just starting out to our Triple Strength 10 mg option for those who need extra assistance. Find the right one for you and be on your way to dreamland.
