Nutrifactor Melatonin (3mg) 30 Tablets

Melatonin is a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle by signaling to the body that it is time to sleep. It is produced naturally by the pineal gland in response to darkness and helps to synchronize the body's internal clock with the external light-dark cycle.
