Quick Dissolve Melatonin 3 mg Cherry Flavor
Brand: Walgreens Essentials
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
This supplement utilizes Melatonin, a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland to regulate the circadian rhythm. At the cellular level, Melatonin binds to MT1 and MT2 receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain. This binding inhibits neuronal firing, signaling the body that it is time to sleep. The quick-dissolve formulation facilitates rapid absorption through the oral mucosa, potentially bypassing first-pass metabolism in the liver for faster onset compared to standard tablets.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports faster sleep onset (falling asleep)
- Helps regulate circadian rhythms
- Promotes restful sleep quality
- Quick-dissolve convenience for rapid absorption
Usage & Safety
Take 1 tablet orally before bedtime. The quick-dissolve formulation melts quickly; do not require water. According to the label, limit use to two months followed by a one-week break. Consult a doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a medical condition. Do not drive or operate machinery after consumption.
