Pure Encapsulations Melatonin 3 mg is a vegetarian capsule supplement providing 3 mg of melatonin per serving, formulated to nutritionally augment the natural functioning of the pineal gland.
Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland, the organ that regulates the body's sleep/wake cycle. The hormone is secreted in a circadian rhythm by enzymes that are activated by darkness and depressed by light.
The formula is kept deliberately simple: each capsule contains melatonin as the sole active ingredient, with hypoallergenic plant fiber (cellulose) and a vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water) as the only other components. Pure Encapsulations products are free from wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners, coatings and shellacs, GMOs, unnecessary binders, fillers and preservatives, magnesium stearate, and trans fat and hydrogenated oils.
