Q: What is melatonin?
A: Melatonin is a natural substance produced by the pineal gland, retina and intestines.

Q: What role does melatonin play in the human body?
A: Melatonin regulates biological rhythms such as the sleep/wake cycle. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by "free radicals", the toxic by-product of normal cell metabolism.* Melatonin is one of the most useful and versatile substances produced in the body.

Q: If my own body produces melatonin, why should I take a melatonin supplement?
A: As we age, our bodies produce less and less melatonin so that by age 45, most people produce less than half the melatonin they produced at age 20. This reduction in melatonin can make restful sleep more difficult to achieve. Dietary supplementation with MELATONEX can help to restore the melatonin we need for restful, natural sleep.*

Q: Is it safe to take a melatonin supplement?
A: Yes. Several thousand people have taken melatonin in carefully monitored clinical studies, some in daily doses of several thousand grams or more. Without exception, these studies have shown no toxic effects and leading experts in the field agree that melatonin is remarkably safe.

Q: Is there anyone who should not take a melatonin supplement?
A: People who have the following conditions should always check with their physicians before taking melatonin: persons who are pregnant or lactating, have diabetes, an autoimmune disease or an endocrine disorder.

Q: Is MELATONEX safe for children?
A: MELATONEX is an adult supplement. As our melatonin levels do not begin to decline until after maturity, children do not need a melatonin supplement. If you think MELATONEX may be right for your child, check with your child's pediatrician first.

Q: What is the source of melatonin in MELATONEX?
A: For your health and safety the melatonin in MELATONEX is produced in a laboratory, eliminating the risk of contamination associated with animal sources.

Q: Why should I choose MELATONEX over other generic melatonin supplements?
A: There are three very good reasons:

1. MELATONEX employs a unique time-release delivery system, releasing melatonin the way the body does, gradually while you sleep, for a restful night's sleep the whole night through.
2. MELATONEX allows flexibility in dose. The MELATONEX tablet is scored in two directions, allowing you to take as little as 0.75 mg of melatonin or as much as 3 mg of melatonin using a single tablet. While 3 mg of melatonin is the right amount for most people, some may experience the same restful night's sleep with less.
3. Your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back.
