Melatonin Tablets

At Mr Vitamins, we believe in natural and holistic approaches to better sleep. Our melatonin alternatives include plant-based options like Herbatonin®, natural sources such as tart cherry, and key nutrients like tryptophan and SAMe that support the body's own production of melatonin. Whether you're adjusting to lifestyle changes, looking to wind down at night, or aiming to create a healthier sleep routine, these alternatives can help maintain balance in your sleep-wake cycle.

What is Melatonin?

Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally by the pineal gland in the brain. It plays a role in regulating circadian rhythm - the body's internal clock that signals day and night cycles. Melatonin levels typically rise in the evening, helping the body prepare for rest. Natural factors such as light exposure, diet, and overall lifestyle can influence these levels.

Nutrients That Influence Melatonin

Certain vitamins and amino acids are known to assist in the body's natural production of melatonin. For example, vitamin B12 contributes to nervous system health and is linked to melatonin release, while tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin, which is converted into melatonin in the body. Including these nutrients as part of a balanced approach may help encourage natural sleep patterns.

Food Sources and Plant-Based Alternatives

Melatonin and its precursors can be found in a variety of foods, including cherries, nuts, eggs, and milk. Plant-based supplements such as Herbatonin® provide another option for those seeking non-synthetic sources. These approaches can be combined with good sleep hygiene practices like reducing screen time before bed, maintaining a regular sleep schedule, and creating a calm environment for rest.

Important Note

In Australia, melatonin is classified as a medicine and access is restricted. Products available at Mr Vitamins are natural alternatives designed to support healthy sleep patterns. Always consult a qualified health professional before making changes to your supplement routine, especially if you are experiencing ongoing sleep difficulties.
