A low-strength option, Natural Factors Melatonin 1 mg provides 1 mg of non-animal-source melatonin in a peppermint sublingual tablet. Helps to prevent and reduce the effects of jet lag (e.g. daytime fatigue, sleep disturbance).
What is melatonin?
The body makes melatonin on its own. Production starts in the pineal gland once it gets dark and tapers off by morning, which is one way the body keeps track of day and night. Late shifts and long-haul flights can leave that rhythm out of line with local time.

Why 1 mg?

I like the 1 mg tablets, so I can adjust the dose as needed. I usually take 2. The 5 mg tablet is too strong for me. Being sublingual and quick-dissolving is essential. I'm often already in bed when I remember to take it. If I had to get up, it would defeat the purpose of aiding falling asleep. My only complaint is the mint flavour. I'd rather not have any flavouring, as there are times when mint interferes with my allergy treatments.

Just enough melatonin
I'm sensitive to melatonin and can't handle the 5mg tablets...too heavy on my system and I wake up groggy. These are perfect, and I can always take 2 tablets if I want to sleep deeper. Thanks Vitasave!
