Our assessment
The evidence shows that melatonin is a well-studied supplement for sleep support. Our assessment is that the U.S. Longevity Institute Melatonin product contains melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. The data indicates that melatonin can be effective for reducing the time it takes to fall asleep, especially for conditions like jet lag or shift work [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of melatonin as a natural sleep signal for your body. Your brain produces more melatonin when it gets dark, telling your body it is time to rest. When you take a melatonin supplement, you are essentially giving your body an extra dose of this "sleep hormone" to help reset your internal clock or encourage sleep at a desired time [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation
