Equinox Melatonin 5MG

Melatonin 5 mg

Short-term treatment of insomnia (difficulty falling asleep) and sleep-wake cycle disturbances such as jet lag; may be used for circadian rhythm sleep disorders as advised by a doctor.

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland that helps regulate the sleep–wake cycle. Supplementation signals the body that it is time to sleep, helping reduce sleep-onset latency and improve sleep quality in some patients.

Oral tablet; take exactly as prescribed. Commonly taken once daily in the evening, about 30–60 minutes before bedtime; preferably at the same time each night. May be taken with or without food; avoid taking with a heavy/fatty meal as it may delay onset. Do not drive or operate machinery after taking.
