Melatonin 5-HTP KAL 60 tablets is a natural supplement that helps you fall asleep quickly and improves sleep quality, ideal for combating stress and night-time awakenings.
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.
Griffonia's L 5-H-T-P is converted in the body into serotonin, a key neurotransmitter for the central nervous system. When our serotonin levels are low, we experience bouts of depression, mood swings and sometimes food cravings. This molecule plays a vital role in the body's proper functioning, and is involved in a wide variety of reactions, particularly those of the central nervous system.
The Kal laboratory combines melatonin with L-5-H-T-P extracted from Griffonia seeds and B-group vitamins to help with:
L-5-H-T-P, extracted from Griffonia seeds, is a precursor of serotonin, a key neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, sleep and appetite. When serotonin levels are out of balance, this can lead to episodes of depression, mood swings and even food cravings. By promoting serotonin production, L-5-H-T-P helps maintain optimal mental well-being and manage daily stress.
The Kal laboratory has cleverly combined melatonin with L-5-H-T-P to create a dietary supplement offering prolonged action on sleep and mental well-being. This unique combination regulates the sleep-wake cycle, helping you to fall asleep more quickly and improving sleep quality. It also helps maintain optimal emotional balance, reducing symptoms of depression and chronic fatigue.
In addition to melatonin and L-5-H-T-P, Kal MÉLATONINE + 5HTP PROLONGED ACTION tablets are enriched with B vitamins. These vitamins play a crucial role in energy metabolism, nervous system function and mental health. They also help reduce fatigue and support cognitive functions. As a result, this complete formulation offers essential nutritional support to promote restful sleep and optimal mental well-being.

Here are a few tips to help you prepare 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.
