What it is licensed for
The licence’s own wording. Directions, doses, cautions and warnings are on the official record and the label.
- Promotes Sleep: Melatonin helps increase the total sleep time (aspect of sleep quality) in people suffering from sleep restriction or altered sleep schedule, e.g. shift-work and jet lag. Helps relieve the daytime fatigue associated with jet lag. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep (sleep onset latency aspect of sleep quality) in people with delayed sleep phase syndrome. Helps re-set the body's sleep-wake cycle (aspect of the circadian rhythm).
