I wanted to write about a new product that we've just gotten in that's great for sleep- our new Liposomal Melatonin Spray by Solgar. Liposomal technology significantly increases absorption, so you don’t need huge doses to be effective (which in the case of melatonin is an especially good thing). Also, since it’s in a spray form (flavored with mint, so it’s reminiscent of mouthwash or toothpaste) it’s absorbed quickly and efficiently.
It’s great to take as you’re laying down to sleep, but the best thing about it is that it’s meant to be effective when used for waking up in the middle of the night. Night wakening is a real problem for a large group of people, especially women, who find they often don’t have trouble actually going to sleep at night, but rather staying asleep. This melatonin spray is perfect for that, and can be used during the night if you wake up to help you to get back to sleep.
The spray form is especially nice since even in the middle of the night it’s easy to grab off your nightstand to do a couple sprays to lull yourself back to sleep, and unlike a pill, no extra water is necessary. Solgar recommends that the spray can be used for night wakening as long as you have three hours left to go before the time you need to wake up.
I’d really recommend giving it a try, since it can only help. It can also be used before bed to help with sleep if needed. As an extra bonus, recent research has linked melatonin to better immune functioning, something I’m sure we could all use.
Also, this new melatonin spray, along with all of our Solgar products (and they have some really good ones) are on sale every day at Pass Health Foods, so stop by and see us! We’re at 7228 W. College Drive in Palos Heights.
