MELATONIN + 5HTP, 60
€48.94
Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland (also called the epiphysis). Melatonin secretion is inhibited in the presence of light and stimulated when it is dark. The maximum production is reached from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m., hence the names of sleep hormone or dark hormone. By means of melatonin, the pineal gland informs the brain on the relative durations of the hours of darkness and lighting over a period of 24 h (daily cycle), but also throughout the year (seasonal cycle). By secreting melatonin, the pineal gland “tells” the brain that it is dark and that it is the right time to sleep.

L 5-HTP from Griffonia is transformed in the body into serotonin, a key neurotransmitter for the central nervous system. When our serotonin level is low, we experience depression, changing moods, sometimes food drives. This molecule has a primordial role for the good functioning of the organism and intervenes in a wide variety of reactions, in particular those of the central nervous system.
The Solaray laboratory combines melatonin with L-5-HTP extracted from Griffonia seeds and group B vitamins to help you with:
- Seasonal depression
- Chronic fatigue
- Sleeping troubles
- Food impulses at the end of the day
Directions for use and dosage
We recommend taking 1 tablet daily with a glass of water, 1 hour before bedtime
