In accordance with European regulations on dietary supplements, we cannot make unauthorized health claims. However, there is an EFSA-approved claim for melatonin stating that “melatonin contributes to the reduction of time taken to fall asleep” with a minimum intake of 1 mg shortly before bedtime. This formula provides 1.5 mg, more than enough to meet this requirement. For personal questions, always consult a (para)medical professional.
