What is Melatonin Vitamin B6 KAL 60 tablets used for?
The Solaray laboratory combines the sleep hormone melatonin with vitamin B6 to treat insomnia and other sleep disorders.
Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland (also known as the epiphysis). Melatonin secretion is inhibited in the presence of light and stimulated when it's dark. Peak production occurs between 2 and 5 a.m., hence the names "sleep hormone" or "hormone of darkness". Through melatonin, the pineal gland informs the brain of the relative lengths of the hours of darkness and light over a 24-hour period (daily cycle), but also throughout the year (seasonal cycle). By secreting melatonin, the pineal gland "tells" the brain that it's dark and time to sleep.
Based on 1.9 mg pure, high-quality melatonin, Solaray Melatonin is for those who have difficulty falling asleep.

Our advice and expert opinions
Here are a few tips to help you get ready for sleep.
- Encourage certain foods that help you sleep well. These include tryptophan-rich foods such as legumes (lentils, chickpeas, dried beans), seeds (squash, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin), cashews, dates, bananas and mangoes.
- Eating dinner 2 or 3 hours before bedtime gives you time to digest before and not during sleep, which would disrupt it.
- Avoid caffeine from 4 p.m. onwards, which could prevent us from reaching the sleep phase.
- Take micro-naps during the day. In fact, a 20-minute nap (maximum) allows you to be more alert during the day, and won't delay you falling asleep in the evening!
- Exercise: sport is a great remedy for stress! As endorphins are released and tension evacuated, it promotes the onset of deep slow-wave sleep, provided you don't exercise 2-3 hours before bedtime.
