Are all Melatonin the same?

Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone is important in the regulation of your circadian rhythms. It aids in regulating the sleep-wake cycle by chemically causing drowsiness and lowering your core body temperature. The pineal gland creates melatonin only when the body is in the dark. People that work shift works or living in areas away from the equator were is is daylight much longer during the summer months the body may not be able to create enough melatonin to control the circadian rhythms. Melatonin is available as a dietary supplement in many countries including Canada and the USA. If you are going to use Melatonin to help in aid you in falling asleep you must understand that this is not a drug or a “sleeping pill”. You will not become dependent on it and it is safe for you to . However, as it is sold as a dietary supplement in Canada and the USA many brands are manufactured to food grade and instead of the higher pharmaceutical grade. When they are only manufactured to food grade this means that it can be within plus or minus 15% of what is says on the bottle so a 2mg tablet may be 1.7mg or 2.30mg this difference of 0.6mg why it may works one night and not the next. So if you are going to spend money on Melatonin get a pharmaceutical grade Melatonin that has a 100% potency guarantee so you get the same dosage every night. Sweet dreams!
