Melatonin is a natural secretion of the pineal gland and is produced by the body to help support and regulate sleep. Futurebiotics provides 3 mg of Melatonin per tablet to help support restful sleep. Normally the body increases melatonin levels when it is dark to help facilitate healthy sleep patterns and reduces Melatonin levels in the daylight.
A variety of factors can disrupt the intricate Melatonin balance including stress, shift work, an overextended schedule or rotating work shifts. Researchers have found that Melatonin can be helpful for improving sleep quality, hastening the onset of sleep, increasing total sleep time and improving sleep efficiency while reducing wakefulness.
