Arkorelax Sommeil Fort 8h is a dietary supplement in the form of a dual-layer tablet that combines melatonin, extracts of valerian, passionflower, and eschscholtzia, and vitamin B6. Melatonin helps reduce the time it takes to fall asleep; this effect is achieved with a 1 mg dose taken shortly before bedtime.
Arkorelax Sommeil Fort 8h combines 1.9 mg of melatonin, three plant extracts (valerian, passionflower, and eschscholtzia), and vitamin B6 in a single tablet. Among melatonin dietary supplements, it stands out for its two-layer design: the first layer dissolves quickly after ingestion, while the second releases its contents more slowly throughout the night.
The fast-release layer provides 1 mg of melatonin, the hormone that the body secretes at dusk to signal that it’s time to sleep. Melatonin helps reduce the time it takes to fall asleep: this effect is achieved by taking 1 mg of melatonin shortly before bedtime—the amount released by this first layer. It is combined with valerian and passionflower, two herbs that promote relaxation.
The second, extended-release layer contains 0.9 mg of melatonin, Eschscholtzia extract, and vitamin B6. Eschscholtzia, also known as California poppy, improves sleep quality. Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological functions.
Arkorelax Sommeil Fort 8h is ideal for times when falling asleep is difficult: returning to work after a vacation, schedules that shift from week to week, or busy periods when the mind struggles to wind down in the evening. A single tablet, with no need to adjust the dosage, makes it a simple step to incorporate into your bedtime routine.
Melatonin is the signal the body associates with darkness: light from a streetlamp, a screen, or an early sunrise in the summer can disrupt this signal. For this reason, we recommend the Quies Relaxation Blackout Mask, which keeps the area around your eyes in complete darkness: the tablet provides the signal for nighttime, while the mask shields your eyes from ambient light.
Directions for Use
1 tablet per day, 1 hour before bedtime, to be swallowed with a large glass of water.

The key point to address before taking the very first dose isn’t effectiveness—it’s the list of evening medications: among the precautions, the section on current treatments is the one we prioritize having customers review at the counter. Next are the habits that the tablet can’t compensate for. A late-afternoon coffee, a late workout, or a heavy dinner push back the time when your body is ready to sleep, and no supplement can make up for this delay.
Arkorelax Sommeil Fort 8h is taken for a specific period rather than long-term: a few weeks, when your sleep rhythm is disrupted, followed by a break to check that you’re falling asleep at the usual time without assistance. For first-time users, the 15-count box allows you to evaluate the formula before moving on to the one-month supply.
Why do I feel like Arkorelax Sommeil Fort 8h isn’t working as well after a few nights?
The tablet sends a sleep signal timed to the time of ingestion. When bedtime varies from night to night, or when the evening extends past the time the tablet is taken, this signal is sent at the wrong time, and the effect seems to wear off. Sticking to the same time for taking the tablet and going to bed each night is the first step to take before concluding that the product has lost its effectiveness.
Can I take Arkorelax Sommeil Fort 8h after I’ve gone to bed rather than an hour beforehand?
The one-hour window allows the rapid-release coating to deliver its melatonin just as you get into bed. If taken after you’ve gone to bed, the tablet delays the entire process: the intended onset of sleep occurs later, and the extended-release coating takes effect closer to morning.
Can I cut or chew an Arkorelax Sommeil Fort 8h tablet?
No. The tablet is made up of two layers that do not release their contents at the same rate. If cut, chewed, or crushed, it loses this structure and releases all at once the melatonin intended for the second half of the night. It must be swallowed whole.
In our never-ending quest for a restful night's sleep, melatonin often presents itself as a promising solution. Produced naturally by the pineal gland, this essential hormone orchestrates our body's circadian rhythm, regulating our sleep and wake cycles. The growing interest in melatonin as a potential treatment for sleep disorders has prompted a great deal of discussion and research, particularly into…
