What is the difference between extended-release and immediate-release melatonin?

Your body produces melatonin to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. Immediate-release melatonin helps you fall asleep faster while extended-release melatonin helps you stay asleep longer.

What are the benefits of Melatonin IR/XR?

Melatonin supports restful sleep, which is crucial for overall health. But melatonin levels decline with age. Melatonin IR/XR can help you fall asleep and stay asleep and promote a healthy sleep-wake cycle.

How long does extended-release melatonin take to work?

Your body produces melatonin when it gets dark and levels increase until you fall asleep, so you should take extended-release melatonin as a sleep supplement about 30-60 minutes before bedtime.

How long does extended-release melatonin last?

You become more wakeful as your melatonin levels drop. Supplementing with Melatonin IR/XR provides an extended release for about seven hours of healthy sleep support.

Can I take melatonin if I wake up in the middle of the night?

Taking a melatonin sleep supplement in the middle of the night is not a good idea because it can throw off your natural sleep-wake cycle. Instead, take melatonin about 30-60 minutes before bedtime.
