Sleep for Kids
Brand: Good Day Chocolate
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary active ingredient, Melatonin, functions as a neurohormone produced by the pineal gland. At a cellular level, it binds to MT1 and MT2 receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain. This binding inhibits neuronal firing, effectively signaling the body that it is time to rest. By modulating the circadian rhythm, Melatonin reduces sleep onset latency, helping children transition from wakefulness to sleep more efficiently than placebo.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Promotes faster sleep onset (reduced time to fall asleep)
- Supports regulation of the body's natural sleep-wake cycle
- Provides a low-dose (1 mg) option suitable for pediatric sensitivity
- Utilizes a palatable milk chocolate delivery system
