Description
Melatonin is an indoleamine synthesised in the body from tryptophan by way of serotonin, and is associated with the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle. As an ingredient it is formulated into sleep-support supplements, gummies, sublingual tablets and functional beverages. It is potent at very low doses — typically in the low milligram range — which places a high demand on blending uniformity, so it is frequently supplied or used as a dilution on a carrier. The material is a white to off-white crystalline powder with limited water solubility. Its regulatory status differs sharply between markets, and must be checked for the destination territory.
