Life Extension Melatonin IR/XR, 1.5 mg, immediate- and Extended-Release Formula for Optimal Sleep Support, Healthy circadian Rhythms, Cellular Defense, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, 60 Capsules

This dual-release melatonin formula works like having two sleep assistants on different shifts (one gets you to sleep, the other keeps you there all night).

Smart Sleep Science That Actually Makes Sense

Most melatonin supplements are like that friend who shows up to the party early then leaves right when things get good. This formula figured out the obvious thing nobody else was doing: your body needs melatonin support at bedtime AND throughout the night. The immediate-release portion helps you fall asleep naturally, while the extended-release keeps working for hours. It's like having a sleep coach who doesn't abandon you at 2 AM.

Each 1.5 mg capsule delivers the precise amount research shows works best for most people. Not the mega-doses that leave you groggy (I used to take 10 mg and wake up feeling like I got hit by a sleepy truck). This dosage supports your natural circadian rhythms without overwhelming your system.

More Than Just Sleep Support

Here's what's wild about melatonin: it's not just a sleep hormone. Your cells use it for antioxidant defense too. While you're getting quality rest, this formula supports cellular protection from oxidative stress. It's multitasking at the molecular level, which is the kind of efficiency I can respect.

The extended-release technology means steady melatonin availability throughout your sleep cycle. No middle-of-the-night wake-ups wondering why your brain decided 3 AM was discussion time. Your circadian rhythms get consistent support, which helps maintain healthy sleep-wake patterns over time.

Clean Formula, Smart Design

Life Extension made this gluten-free and non-GMO because apparently some companies think sleep supplements should come with digestive drama. Each bottle contains 60 capsules (that's two months of better nights if you're counting). The dual-release system is housed in easy-to-swallow capsules that don't taste like regret.

Take one capsule 30-60 minutes before your desired bedtime. Your body will handle the timing from there. The immediate portion gets to work while you're winding down, and the extended-release keeps supporting you through complete sleep cycles. It's sleep science that actually works with how your body operates, not against it.
