Melatonin tablets represent a type of synthetic supplements based on a combination of melatonin and Vitamin B. The company behind this product is Shenzhen FYK Biology and Technology. The manufacturers claim that all their products passed GDFDA and FDA certification to ensure the fulfillment of costumer’s satisfaction.
Melatonin can regulate immunity, stress responses and some aspects of the aging process. Clinically, it has been used in rhythm disturbances and sleep disorders. Therefore, Melatonin capsules have been reported to improve people’s general happiness, strengthen the immune system and reduce free radicals in the body. However, the usage of melatonin might lead to side effects such as daytime sleepiness, dizziness, and headaches.
Scientists consider the lack of melatonin a problem for older people because it causes sleep deprival; therefore, this remedy represents a possibility of improvement for elders.
1) Melatonin Ingredients
Melatonin capsules include the following ingredients: Melatonin and Vitamin B6.
2) What Does Melatonin Do?
Melatonin capsules are advertised as a melatonin-based supplement. Melatonin is a natural hormone-like compound produced by the pineal gland (embedded deeply in the brain). This hormone is involved in numerous aspects of general circadian and physiological regulation by setting and maintaining the internal clock and governing the natural rhythm of the body.
Because the amount of melatonin produced by our body seems to lessen as we get older, a solution to the lack of this hormone may rely on Melatonin capsules. However, when taking this remedy, people should be aware that it can interact with medication that suppresses the immune system, blood thinners, medication for diabetes and birth control pills.
In comparison with other melatonin based remedies, Melatonin capsules also contain Vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin, which is excreted within eight hours after ingestion, and therefore it needs to be regularly replaced by eating whole foods or taking supplements.
3) How Much Does Melatonin Cost?
Melatonin capsules are sold in bottles which contain 60 capsules. Like other supplements of this kind, the price is affordable, especially when bought in high quantities.
The product is available for purchase directly from the manufacturer’s website or from various online retailers. The shipping costs should be taken into consideration when placing an order.
4) The Bottom Line – “Does it Work?”
Melatonin capsules contain two key elements considered to be essential for a good functionality of the body. Both are more difficult to be found in the human body when the aging process becomes alerted.
Even though these supplements may help solve sleeping disorders, it is advised to take into consideration that supplements made from animal sources might contain various contaminants. Also, melatonin is usually recommended for short-term use (up to two months). However, some research indicates that longer terms might be appropriate in certain cases.
