{"product_id":"melaton-5","title":"Melaton-5","description":"Thorne offers melatonin in both 3 mg (Melatonin-3) and 5 mg (Melatonin-5) capsules. Melatonin, the primary hormone of the pineal gland, is a powerful \"chronobiotic\" that helps maintain the body's normal circadian rhythms.* In individuals who have difficulty sleeping or who have altered circadian rhythms because of jet lag or night shift work, melatonin supplementation promotes the resynchronization of this cycle.* Supplementation can also benefit those whose difficulty sleeping is caused by the aging-related decrease in the body's ability to synthesize melatonin from the amino acid tryptophan.* Research indicates melatonin exerts its sleep-promoting efficacy by decreasing the amount of time needed to fall asleep, by promoting the ability to stay asleep, and by enhancing the depth of sleep.*\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMelatonin administration from 0.3 mg to 5.0 mg has been shown to exert a sedative-like effect.* When supplemented prior to the onset of the body's normal melatonin secretion, even a low amount of melatonin can promote sleep.* Melatonin apparently enhances the effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) via direct interaction with GABA receptors, thus resulting in relaxation.* Thorne's Melaton-3 supplies three mg of melatonin in each capsule, and Melaton-5 supplies 5 mg per capsule and is used when a higher amount of melatonin is desired. Melatonin also has significant antioxidant activity.* Adequate melatonin levels have been reported to be a positive factor in cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, GI, and bone health.*\n\u003ch3\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 1 capsule at bedtime or as recommended by your health professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eALLERGY WARNING\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePREGNANCY\u003c\/strong\u003e WARNING\u003cbr\u003eIf pregnant or nursing, do not use this product.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTERACTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBecause melatonin may potentiate the effect of blood-thinning medications, Melaton-5 should be used with caution or avoided in individuals on anticoagulant therapy or prior to surgery.","brand":"Thorne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46054598377708,"sku":"thorn-SF780","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5462\/2700\/files\/sf780__v732ebf4f6dde9676458c8ead00d90b106378dfc6.png?v=1782162169","url":"https:\/\/members.theswellscore.com\/products\/melaton-5","provider":"TSS Member Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
