Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin. There are three natural forms of vitamin B6: pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxal, and all are normally present in food, however, pyridoxine is the most well-known form.

Melatonin is an endogenous hormone produced by the pineal gland and its synthesis is regulated by light/dark, that is, it is inactivated by light and activated by darkness.
In fact, if we want to produce melatonin properly, we need to lie down without light entering, because it blocks its synthesis.

This hormone is synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan by hydroxylacon and decarboxylation reactions to produce serotonin and melatonin. Vitamins and minerals are necessary as cofactors in this biological process and, if we have deficits, we may not be able to synthesize the amount necessary to fall asleep. Melotime™ is a patented, timed-release melatonin nutraceutical ingredient to provide sustained 8-hour sleep.

Melotime ™ is systematically released during the 8 hours of sleep, releasing the first 50% of the dose in the first hour and then the subsequent dose is released every 1 hour. Because of this release profile, the correct dose of melatonin is achieved without causing feelings of drowsiness the next morning.

Benefits & advantages.

• 8 hours of sustained sleep: Its sustained release profile helps to sleep 8 hours without any problems and its effects begin to diminish in the body after 6 hours of administration.
  Relieve the subjective feeling of jet lag.
• Restores the natural sleep pattern: Its unique release profile not only helps you fall asleep gradually but also wake you up eventually, which is seen in natural sleep patterns.
• Sleep Health: The melatonin in Melotime ™ improves subjective sleep quality, as well as some aspects of objective sleep quality.

Among the functions, melatonin contributes:

• to relieve the subjective feeling of jet lag.
• to reduce the time needed to fall asleep.
