Melatonin supplements

Melatonin supplements are products that contain the hormone melatonin, which regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Naturally produced by the brain’s pineal gland, melatonin levels rise in the evening to help you feel sleepy and decrease in the morning to promote wakefulness. Supplements are commonly used to manage sleep disorders like insomnia, jet lag, or shift work-related sleep issues. They are generally considered safe for short-term use, but effectiveness can vary, and it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting, especially if you have health conditions or take other medications.
