- HIGHLIGHTS
Highly effective Our liposomal supplements are superior in terms of effectiveness due to our proprietary formulation process and liposomal technology.; Science Based Our scientists are world class experts in liposome technology and their clinical applications.; Better efficacy Non-toxic Our liposomes are essentially non-toxic and biologically degradable.
- Benefits of Liposomal Melatonin
Although melatonin is relatively soluble in aqueous solvents, the bioavailability of oral melatonin is relatively low. This is due to high first-pass clearance in the liver and low absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Standard products feature melatonin in free form in which it is subject to these biological challenges. By encapsulating melatonin in liposomes and protecting it from premature degradation while enhancing its intestinal absorption, our product partially overcomes these issues, increasing the chance of it reaching the site of action.
- Health Benefits
Sleep is crucial to a healthy life. Many different medications exist to treat sleep disorders, but these have serious side effects including dependency and cognitive impairment. Melatonin supplementation on the other hand is a safe and effective method to contribute to a faster sleep onset and normal sleep patterns. Melatonin is a naturally produced hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. It is well tolerated and does not induce dependence. Furthermore, studies report that people using melatonin experience less severe jet lags, better self-recorded mood ratings and sleep parameters.
