Herbatonin 0.3mg low dose plant based melatonin is a non-habit forming, drug-free natural sleep aid. Melatonin helps your body's sleep cycle and circadian rhythm regulate to assist with occasional sleeplessness. Melatonin is also one of the strongest brain antioxidants and one of the few that can cross the blood brain barrier to impact cognitive and mental health. Many melatonin products on the market offer melatonin at a much higher dose than the brain naturally produces. Too much melatonin can result in waking up groggy the next morning, nightmares or night terrors, or it can have the opposite or paradoxical effect and make it harder to fall asleep, or you sleep well for 3-4 hours and then wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep. All of those symptoms are due to too much melatonin. Another issue from too much melatonin is it can be habit forming or create a dependence. If you continually take too much melatonin your brain's receptor sites can become less sensitive and you start to create a need and potential dependence on higher and higher doses of melatonin in order to get to sleep. The body produces only 0.3mg of melatonin a day and health experts and clinical research has shown that this 0.3mg dose is the ideal amount for our body to support normal, restful sleep. This is why we offer Herbatonin as a long-term, natural, safe sleep solution and mental health product because it mimics the physiological levels that occur naturally in the brain. We recommend starting small and working your way up if you are not experiencing the full benefits from just one capsule. Herbatonin is the only plant based melatonin on the market with the phyto melatonin naturally existing within the cells of the plant. It is standardized at the low dose of 0.3mg of melatonin per capsule, packaged in vegan capsules, oxygen barrier blister packs, which keep the product stable for over 3 years and recycled boxes which are printed with vegetable ink.
