Theratonin™ Melatonin Supplement (90-day supply)

Q. What is melatonin?

Melatonin is a hormone and antioxidant secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. Melatonin regulates sleep-wake cycles, also known as circadian rhythm. Studies show that melatonin may help people fall asleep faster and support healthy sleep quality.*

Q. How is Theratonin different from other melatonin supplements?

Theratonin is independently tested and certified by NSF International for content accuracy and purity. This is important because the quality and purity of melatonin supplements can vary substantially. A recently published study tested 30 different melatonin products and found that more than 71% of the supplements tested did not contain the amount of melatonin they claimed. The actual melatonin content in these supplements ranged from 83% below to as much as 478% above the amount of melatonin claimed on the label. In addition, 26% of the products tested were contaminated with varying amounts of serotonin, a potent neurotransmitter.

That’s important because multiple recent studies have found that melatonin supplements are commonly mislabeled. One recent study tested 31 melatonin supplements and discovered that over 71% of the melatonin supplements didn’t contain the dose of melatonin listed on their supplement facts panel. The actual melatonin content of these supplements ranged from 83% below to 478% above the labeled dose. Plus, 26% of the tested melatonin supplements were contaminated with serotonin, a potent neurotransmitter.
