Melatonin is one of the most-studied molecules in circadian and sleep research. This guide covers what it is and how it is handled as research material.
What is Melatonin?
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone (an indoleamine — not a peptide) produced mainly by the pineal gland. It is central to research on the sleep-wake cycle.
How it is studied
Research has examined melatonin across circadian rhythm, sleep and antioxidant contexts. These are areas of scientific study; nothing here is a claim about use in humans.
Forms & handling
Supplied in vialled research format; reconstitute per the reconstitution guide. Store cool and out of light.
Why third-party testing matters
Research is only as reliable as the material behind it. Every batch we stock undergoes independent third-party analysis, and we publish the results so purity and identity can be verified rather than assumed. See our independent lab testing and HPLC purity testing.
