Pure Melatonin Powder is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland, primarily regulating the sleep-wake cycle and circadian rhythm. As a dietary supplement, it is widely used to promote better sleep quality, shorten sleep onset time, and alleviate jet lag.
It also exhibits antioxidant properties and supports immune health. In anti-aging formulations, melatonin is valued for its ability to protect mitochondria and reduce oxidative stress.

Q: How to take melatonin powder?
A: For accurate dosing, mix the powder into a small amount of water or a non-caffeinated beverage and consume immediately. Using a precise digital milligram scale is crucial. Alternatively, place the measured dose directly under the tongue (sublingually) for faster absorption.
Q: How to dissolve melatonin powder?
A: Melatonin powder is lipophilic (fat-soluble) and does not readily dissolve in water. It will disperse but may leave a fine suspension. For better dissolution, mix it with a small amount of warm liquid or an oil-based carrier.
Q: Is it safe to take melatonin just the powder?
A: It is safe only if you can measure an extremely precise micro-dose. A standard dose is 0.5-3 mg, which is a tiny amount that is very easy to misdose. Taking too much can cause next-day grogginess and vivid dreams. Using a pre-dosed capsule is far safer and more convenient for most people.
Q: What is melatonin powder derived from?
A: Most commercial melatonin powder is synthetically produced in laboratories. This is identical to the melatonin the human body produces and is considered vegan and highly pure. It is not typically derived from animal sources.
Q: How much Melatonin powder to take?
A: Less is more. Start with a very low dose.
For sleep onset: 0.5 – 1 mg, 30-60 minutes before bed.
General sleep support: 1 – 3 mg.
For jet lag: 1 – 3 mg. Always begin with the lowest possible dose and only increase if necessary.
Q: What is the best way to absorb melatonin?
A: The sublingual (under the tongue) method is most effective. By allowing the powder to absorb through the mucous membranes, it enters the bloodstream directly, bypassing the liver and leading to a faster onset of action. If swallowing, taking it with a small amount of fat may improve absorption.
