Under normal circumstances, melatonin secretion typically peaks between 1 and 3 a.m., but only IF you’re sleeping in total darkness. If this isn’t the case, then release is suppressed and the health-giving benefits of melatonin are missed. Exposure to artificial lights, particularly blue light from electronic tablets, phones, computers and TVs, and even long flights can delay the release of melatonin and wreak havoc with the circadian rhythms that tell us when to rest and when to be alert. Deficiency can even lead to appetite changes, nausea and weight gain.
Lifestyles today often include after-dinner workouts, shift work, airline travel, sedentary jobs, increased screen time and staying up later. No wonder so many of us are experiencing daytime drowsiness, poor concentration, irritability or forgetfulness. These are all symptoms associated with sleep deprivation.
Sleep cycle disruptions affect many groups of people, such as shift workers, frequent flyers, parents of young children, illness, individuals on certain medications, and anyone with chronic stress or anxiousness.

What is the recommended use of Pure Lab’s Slow Release Melatonin 10 mg?
Answer: The primary recommended use for Pure Lab’s Slow Release Melatonin 10 mg is to help increase total sleep time (sleep quality) in people suffering from sleep restriction or altered sleep schedule (e.g. shift-work and jet lag). In general, melatonin can reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, reset the body’s sleep-wake cycle, and also prevent and/or reduce the effects of jet lag (e.g. daytime fatigue, sleep disturbance).
How is Pure Lab’s Slow Release Melatonin 10 mg formulation different from other melatonin products?
Answer: Pure Lab’s Slow Release Melatonin 10 mg is formulated to release melatonin slowly, so that it can be absorbed more slowly, for longer lasting benefits through the night.

Which ingredient in Pure Lab’s Slow Release Melatonin 10 mg are responsible for the slow-release effect and how does it work?
Answer: The ingredient in Pure Lab’s Slow Release Melatonin 10 mg responsible for the slow-release effect is hypromellose SR. This is a fiber derived from the pulp of the poplar or birch tree. The hypromellose SR is mixed with the ingredients within the capsule so that it forms a gel upon contact with digestive fluids. This allows for a slower release of the melatonin, and therefore, a more gradual entry into the bloodstream, for sustained benefits.
