Melatonin, Biotus, 5 mg, 60 capsules

About the product

Is it difficult to fall asleep after a stressful day, and thoughts about work do not let you rest even in bed? Or perhaps your sleep schedule has been disrupted by travel or night work? Melatonin from Biotus is a natural regulator of biological rhythms that allows the body to gently tune in to rest. It shortens the time it takes to fall asleep and allows you to wake up feeling refreshed, not exhausted.

Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by the pineal gland of our brain in response to the onset of darkness. It is the main regulator of circadian rhythms (biological clocks), which tells the body when it is time to rest. Excessive use of gadgets before bedtime, stress, or artificial lighting can reduce the level of your own melatonin, which leads to difficulty falling asleep.

• Release form: 60 capsules.

• Recommended daily serving: 1 capsule.

• Recommended age: adults from 18 years.

Why take

• Synchronization of internal clocks and light sleep —supplemental melatonin intake speeds up the process of falling asleep, allowing the body to more easily adapt to a new schedule. It restores biological rhythms after night shifts or long travel, regulates rest time, and eliminates the agonizing wait for sleep.

• Deep and high-quality rest — melatonin makes sleep more stable, reducing the frequency of night awakenings for full recovery of the nervous system. Improving the quality of night rest promotes morning vigor and high productivity during the day.

• Cell protection and youthfulness of the body — melatonin is considered one of the most powerful natural antioxidants, which protects cells from oxidative stress and helps support the overall health of the body. Neutralization of free radicals at night slows down age-related changes and activates natural tissue regeneration mechanisms.

• Easy adaptation to stress — promotes overall relaxation of the nervous system, allowing the body to more easily adapt to psycho-emotional stress. Melatonin helps reduce the level of the stress hormone (cortisol) in the evening, which eliminates excess mental stimulation and allows you to quickly achieve a state of rest necessary for restorative sleep.
