For occasional sleeplessness – Melatonin is a hormone that your body releases, mostly at night, to make falling asleep easier. At 10 mg of melatonin per vegetarian capsule, this is one of our most powerful melatonin formulas for sleep support.
Inhibits oxidative stress – Melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant: it can quench oxidizing free radical compounds. Fighting oxidative stress in this manner promotes cellular health, DNA health and encourages restful sleep.
Promotes immune response – A strong dose of melatonin can support a healthy immune response. This is because melatonin can encourage specialized immune cells called T-helper cells, which rally other parts of the immune system when challenged.
Ingredients matter – We use only the finest raw ingredients with the purity and potency you deserve. The majority of our products are non-GMO, gluten-free and manufactured in the USA—and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every one.
Live your healthiest life – We believe the answers to a healthier life are within reach, and that scientific research is the key to getting us there. That’s why so many of our formulas feature specific ingredients and amounts based on scientific studies.

Product Information
From the manufacturer
What Is Melatonin?
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone (ours comes from plants). It’s released by your body to help you sleep—but melatonin declines with age. Travel and sleep schedules can affect melatonin as well. This 10 mg melatonin formula helps promote restful sleep, healthy immune response, and more.
Promotes restful sleep
Your body makes its own melatonin—but sometimes, not enough. When that happens, a melatonin supplement can help you get some rest.
Oxidative stress defense
Compounds called free radicals can exert oxidative stress on your cells, tissues, and DNA. Melatonin helps inhibit oxidative stress.
Encourages immune cells
T-helper cells are specialized immune cells that help promote your immune response. Melatonin activates T-helper cells.
This will do nicely
We offer a variety of melatonin formulations to fit your needs…but at 10 mg per vegetarian capsule, this one is our strongest.
Can you take melatonin every night?
Yes! While a melatonin supplement is intended for occasional sleeplessness, a bedtime routine is also a big part of getting the rest you need and deserve, every day. So it’s OK to take melatonin every night.
How long does it take for melatonin to “kick in”?
Melatonin affects each person differently. Plus, everyone has different sleep patterns and habits that dictate how (and when) they fall asleep. For best results, take it at least an hour before bedtime.
How long do you stay asleep with melatonin?
Melatonin can help you fall asleep and stay asleep—but it’s not the only factor when it comes to how long you sleep. If you’re waking up in the middle of the night, consider a timed-release melatonin.
Can I take melatonin if I wake up in the middle of the night?
Melatonin can help you stay asleep. That said, melatonin promotes the body’s natural sleep schedule, so it’s probably not advised to take melatonin again if you wake up in the middle of the night.
How much melatonin should I take?
Every person’s physiology is different. That’s why Life Extension offers melatonin formulas with as little as 300 mcg to as strong as 10 mg—with many different dosing options in between.
