Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that all living beings produce. This hormone is made in the pineal gland and its release is said to be inhibited by light and permitted only during darkness. The function of this hormone is to regulate sleeping cycles. We do want to note that Melatonin levels are said to decline with age, which may be why finding a supplement that contains this ingredient may be beneficial.

Consumers who wish to boost Melatonin levels in the body may be successful with a supplement that contains this ingredient. However, additional success may be achieved with a product that pairs Melatonin with Vitamin B12, since this vitamin has been said to promote the early release of Melatonin in the brain.

However, while we do appreciate the capabilities of Melatonin, we think that consumers can benefit from a product that also adds an ingredient that can break down stimulants and toxins in the body that may disrupt sleep. There is one patented ingredient Cysteine Milk Peptide® that is said to perform this particular function.

One big reason that so many people are attracted to Melatonin is because it is not associated with any adverse side effect. Many supplements and drugs that are used as sleep aids can cause drowsiness throughout the next day. However, Melatonin is said to have zero lingering effects, which makes it more suitable for those with active lifestyles.

As mentioned, Melatonin is contained in a wide assortment of products. We did mention that a product that combines Melatonin with Cysteine Milk Peptide® and Vitamin B12 can offer additional benefits, but some consumers may prefer a product that is entirely comprised of Melatonin. However, for a more comprehensive approach other ingredients may be needed for additional synergistic support.

• Said to not cause drowsiness
• Contained in many popular products
• Already naturally occurs in the body
• Offered in affordable supplements

• May not address all sleep issues entirely on its own

As mentioned, Melatonin is a rather popular sleep aid. This ingredient is contained in a wide variety of products and is available in capsules. However, we believe that consumers may achieve a more restful night sleep with the added ingredient Cysteine Milk Peptide®, which is patented and only available in select products. Again, it would be fairly easy to find this ingredient in a supplement for interested consumers. In the end, a combination of the best ingredients always makes for the best products.
