Is this product suitable for crossing time zones or working shifts?

Yes, these are among the most common reasons for taking melatonin. When external cues (light, mealtimes, social activity) are out of step with the internal biological clock, the body finds it hard to readjust quickly on its own.

When flying across time zones, melatonin is taken at the time that corresponds to night at the destination — even if it is daytime at home. This helps shift the internal clock in the right direction more quickly. A few days of regular intake are usually enough to make the adjustment noticeably easier.

With shift work the situation is more complicated, because the schedule may change every week. In this case melatonin is taken before daytime sleep after a night shift — about 30 minutes before going to bed. It is important to darken the room if possible: without this the supplement works less well, as bright daylight suppresses its effect.

The 300-tablet pack is particularly convenient for those who return to melatonin from time to time — during business trips, schedule changes or seasonal disruptions to their routine — rather than using it every day all year round.

The product is intended for adults only and is not intended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. It should not be combined with alcohol or other medicines, including herbal preparations: if you take prescription medicines, consult a doctor before use.
