Description

What is melatonin?

Melatonin is a natural hormone that helps regulate your sleep cycle, reducing the symptoms of jet lag and helping your body clock adjust faster to a new time zone. Your body releases melatonin after dark, and it promotes restful sleep and supports your body's circadian rhythm.

How does Melatonin work?

As darkness falls, your body naturally increases melatonin levels, signalling that it's time to sleep. However, traveling across time zones can disrupt this cycle, making it harder to rest. Melatonin tablets help align your body clock with your destination’s nighttime, easing the adjustment and reducing jet lag.

Where to buy Melatonin?

You can buy Melatonin from The Naked Pharmacy by completing a short consultation. Melatonin tablets cannot be purchased over the counter and require a prescription.
