For our well-being, it is important that we sleep enough. Sleep consists of different cycles. While we are asleep, important processes take place in the body. Rest and relaxation phases alternate with deep sleep phases. During our sleep experiences are processed and learned material is stored in our memory. How much sleep a person needs is different for everyone. In general, most people need at least seven to eight hours of sleep per night.

Melatonin is produced by the organism in the pineal gland in the brain. It controls our sleep-wake rhythm. During the day, melatonin release from the brain is greatly reduced because of the intensity of the light. In the dark, the hormone is released again and promotes falling asleep.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) considers two effects of melatonin on humans to be established.

Melatonin is naturally produced by our body and is the body's own sleep signal, which is why there is no addictive effect.

Melatonin does not have any habitual effect, which is why it can be taken every day when needed. However, it is recommended only for problems with falling asleep.

We recommend taking one MELATONIN+ Products only if you are able to get 6 hours of sleep, so that the melatonin has broken down in your body the following day. This way you should not feel tired the next morning.

You should only take the MELATONIN+ Products if you can guarantee at least 6 hours of sleep afterwards. If this is the case, the soft gummies can be taken at any time of the day. Otherwise, the tiredness may continue after waking up.

The MELATONIN+ Products should be taken 30 minutes before bedtime if you can sleep for 6 hours. You should avoid taking it in the middle of the night, because then you may feel sleepy the next morning – unless you have another 6 hours ahead of you.
