DR. CLARKE’S TIME-RELEASE MELATONIN
Melatonin is not only your best friend for a good night’s sleep but also a potent antioxidant, backed by scientific research. That’s why we’ve incorporated it into Dr. Clarke’s patented Neuro Protocol, taking your sleep experience to the next level.
Time-Release vs. Conventional Melatonin –
What’s the Difference?
Conventional melatonin supplements typically exit the system within 4 hours, making them useful for initiating sleep but less effective for those struggling to maintain uninterrupted sleep or waking prematurely.
MicroActive® Melatonin was created to tackle this challenge by employing a micronized, sustained-release technology that gradually dispenses melatonin over a 7-hour duration.
Furthermore, in contrast to regular melatonin supplements, which can lead to a sudden surge of melatonin upon ingestion, the sustained-release feature of MicroActive® Melatonin ensures a consistent dose over an extended period, providing more comprehensive sleep support.
Why Take Melatonin As a Supplement?
Melatonin supplements are commonly used to improve sleep patterns and address sleep-related issues.
This hormone, naturally produced by the pineal gland in response to darkness, regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Many people turn to melatonin supplements to help with insomnia, jet lag, or irregular work hours.
These supplements can assist in resetting the body’s internal clock when adjusting to different time zones or shift work.
Moreover, melatonin is recognized as a potent antioxidant, which can provide additional health benefits that Dr. Clarke wants in his neuro protocol.
