  More facts about Melatonin IR/XR

  Lack of quality, restful sleep can affect cognitive health, metabolic health and more. Poor sleep can mean that you have trouble falling asleep, but it can also mean that you wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep. If that sounds familiar, try Melatonin IR/XR.

  MicroActive® Melatonin

  Each capsule of Melatonin IR/XR contains 1.5 mg of MicroActive® Melatonin, a unique 50/50 blend of immediate- and extended-release melatonin. Taken about 30 minutes before bed, Melatonin IR/XR helps you fall asleep quickly and stay asleep all night long. Just one Melatonin IR/XR capsule provides approximately seven hours of uninterrupted sleep support, so you sleep throughout the night.

  Clinical studies on standard immediate-release melatonin

  Results from an analysis of 15 clinical studies show that standard melatonin helps fall asleep faster and sleep longer and promotes sleep quality compared with a placebo.8 In one study, subjects took a 0.1 mg, 0.3 mg, or 3 mg melatonin capsule or a placebo 30 minutes before bedtime for three days. All three melatonin doses promoted restful sleep. In a recent randomized placebo-controlled trial, subjects who took 0.5 mg fast-release melatonin at night for four consecutive weeks fell asleep faster and experienced healthy, restful sleep compared with a placebo.

  Clinical studies on controlled-release melatonin

  A study found that 2 mg of a controlled-release melatonin formulation taken two hours before bed promoted healthy sleep, compared with a placebo, and also shortened the length of time subjects spent awake after initially falling asleep. And in another randomized placebo-controlled study, subjects reported improvement in sleep quality after taking 2 mg of an extended-release formulation before bedtime.

  Suggested use

  Read the entire label and follow the directions carefully prior to use.

  Take one (1) capsule 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Melatonin is naturally secreted from the pineal gland at night, and should be taken at night for optimal results.
