Nano Melatonin Pre-Concentrate
Melatonin is poorly water soluble and heavily metabolized on first pass, which makes it a genuine candidate for encapsulation.
Why this active is encapsulated
Oral melatonin has notoriously low and variable bioavailability, so labeled dose and delivered dose are only loosely related. A nanoparticle carrier tightens that relationship and brings onset forward, which matters more in a sleep product than almost anywhere else.
Primary benefit
Absorption. The carrier raises how much of the labeled dose actually reaches circulation, and tightens the variability between servings.
