Product Review

Doctor's Best Chewable Melatonin provides a supplemental source of melatonin to support the maintenance of sleep patterns that are in sync with both the demands of our daily schedules and the circadian rhythms largely dictated by our biological clock. Melatonin is a hormone that is secreted by the pineal gland to regulate sleep in response to light and darkness and is regulated by the body's master internal clock. Our melatonin levels begin to drop at around age 35-40,gradually declining so that by the time we are in our 70s, our nighttime melatonin levels are often similar to daytime levels. Melatonin may be effective in helping to shift the biological clock's adjustment to new time zones, e.g. recovery from jet lag, or to adjust to new sleep schedules.
