Product Highlights: Melatonin levels may be related to aging. For example, young children have the highest levels of nighttime melatonin. Researchers believe these levels drop as we age. Some people think lower levels of melatonin may explain why some older adults have sleep problems and tend to go to bed and wake up earlier than when they were younger. Research seems to indicate that sustained release melatonin is effective in reinvigorating healthy sleep cycles.

Melatonin also has strong antioxidant effects. Preliminary evidence suggests that it may help strengthen the immune system

MicroActive Melatonin a two-stage 7-hour 100% sustained release in a free flowing powder. Initial rapid release of 40% of the active ingredient in the first hour then the remaining slowly over the next six hours. The release curve is almost identical to a European pharmaceutical melatonin. It is unlike popular brands whose active is either released over a short period or a significant portion is not released at all.
