I had my doubts about whether it would make me sleep more or not, but it does not have the effect of a sleeping pill, but it does improve the quality of rest, I take it half an hour before going to sleep and I wake up much better than before.

Melatonin 0.5mg - The 'travel' format of melatonin

Melatonin 0.5mg by EssentialSeries is HSN's new melatonin, an alternative format to the classic 1.9mg melatonin. It retains all the benefits of the traditional formula but in a reduced concentration, perfect for people who use low daily doses of melatonin or are specifically looking for its effects on jet lag.

Melatonin is a hormone produced by our nervous system in a brain region known as the pineal gland. Its function is to act as a biological clock, as the body significantly releases it when the light perceived by our eyes diminishes, signalling that it’s night and therefore time to sleep. With today’s lifestyle, this mechanism is negatively affected and, therefore, melatonin is a dietary supplement very widely used.

Melatonin 0.5mg was created as an alternative for people who need lower doses than the standard 1.9mg but still want to benefit from its properties.

A reduced dose for daily use - Discover it!

0.5mg: Why choose it over 1.9mg?

The use of a 0.5mg melatonin presentation is particularly useful for relieving the subjective feeling of jet lag. This low dose is designed to help reset the biological clock after trips involving time zone changes, making it easier to adapt to a new sleep-wake cycle. It’s an appropriate choice for those seeking to gradually improve their adjustment to time zone changes with less risk of waking up during the night, as it gently acts on circadian rhythms for optimal adaptation.

On the other hand, a more standard melatonin presentation, such as the 1.9mg version, may be more suitable for those needing to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep in their daily routine. Studies indicate that at least 1mg daily is required to achieve this effect efficiently. This dosage offers a more direct impact to decrease sleep onset time, making it helpful for individuals with occasional or persistent sleeping difficulties.

The 0.5mg dose is more suitable for frequent travellers crossing time zones, looking to regulate their rest at their destination; and for people who want to use a low daily dose of melatonin to benefit from its effects on biological clock regulation.

As always: No unnecessary additives

Melatonin formulas often contain many unnecessary ingredients. In our initial melatonin formulations, we included vitamin B6, which, while not 'unnecessary' (as it acts as a natural cofactor in the synthesis of this neurohormone). However, we realised that many users preferred melatonin on its own.

We heard you!

Just like the reformulation of our standard 1.9mg melatonin, the new 0.5mg melatonin has been developed without any additional ingredients. It contains only microcrystalline cellulose, a natural polymer, a type of fibre with good compression capacity that enables tablet formation. Without it, it would be impossible to make a tablet with just 0.5mg of melatonin.

Uncoated tablets - Rapid absorption and release

Our approach to avoiding additives stems from the fact that if coating agents are used, turning the tablet into more than just a 'compressed pill', or if elements are added that alter the melatonin kinetics, its activity profile could change.

We don’t want that: our 0.5mg melatonin is immediate-release melatonin, or 'fast melatonin'; it has no tablet coatings or encapsulation of the active ingredient, making it the most effective format for leveraging the compound's immediate effects.

Properties of Melatonin 0.5mg

Melatonin has two main functions:

Firstly, it can reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. However, this effect requires at least 1mg daily, so for this purpose, we recommend our more standard presentation of melatonin 1.9mg.

Secondly, melatonin is the 'magic' compound for people travelling across time zones, especially when the impact is significant +/- 3h. It helps relieve the subjective feeling of jet lag1, meaning it regulates the biological clock even when the new sleep time at the destination doesn’t match the original sleep time.

Immediate release vs Delayed release

There are fundamentally two types of melatonin: immediate-release and delayed-release.

Melatonin 0.5mg is immediate-release melatonin, as is the 1.9mg presentation. Thanks to its rapid release, it’s considered the most recommended melatonin for inducing sleep, and it’s the type of melatonin most historically used in scientific studies.

Alternatively, there is a delayed-release melatonin presentation, available in HSN’s catalogue under the Melotime™ patent. Many users prefer this version due to its slower release speed, which is proposed as a better option for leveraging the compound’s effects on sleep throughout the night.

How to take melatonin? Usage tips

There’s often confusion about how to use melatonin, but it’s straightforward.

If you are using immediate-release melatonin, as in this case, simply take it 30 minutes before bedtime. While melatonin could be used at other times of the day, it’s practically limited to nighttime use, as this is when its effects are exerted. It’s not meaningful to use it at other times unless you work night shifts and need to sleep in the morning or afternoon; in that case, use it before going to bed.

You can take melatonin daily without breaks, as contrary to popular belief, melatonin does not cause adaptation or tolerance. In other words, you don’t 'get used' to its use or need to increase the dose to continue benefiting from its properties. Chronic melatonin use over years has been evaluated and deemed safe, and if you stop using it after years, there won’t be any issues.

Combining with other 'night-time' compounds

Many people wonder if melatonin is compatible with other sleep aids, and the answer is a resounding: Yes.

You can combine melatonin with countless products, but we recommend:

    I tested it after using the 1.9 to see if a lower dose would be sufficient to fall asleep and the difference is imperceptible.
