Melatonin Powder

Melatonin Powder

Trouble falling asleep, try melatonin powder. Way cheaper than in pill form, just as effective.

N-Acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine (also known as melatonin) is a hormone of the tryptamine class. It is found in animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. In animals, it functions as a hormone that anticipates the daily onset of darkness; it may have different functions in other organisms.

Melatonin is active and can be taken sublingually and buccally by placing it into one's mouth and allowing it to absorb over a period of 15-25 minutes. It is less active when taken orally.

Melatonin is commonly used as a medication for insomnia; however, there is insufficient scientific evidence to prove any benefit in this area.[5] It is sold over-the-counter in most pharmacies within the United States and Canada. In other countries, it may require a prescription or not be available.

It should be noted that when purchasing melatonin, dosages may range from 3 - 10mg. While not dangerous, this dosage range is well beyond the effective dose of .25 mg, and may increase instances of drowsiness the next day.
