Melatonin PR 3 mg — Prolonged Release for Deep, Natural Sleep (60 Tabs)
Melatonin P.R. 3 mg delivers 3 mg of high-purity melatonin in a prolonged-release tablet formulated to slowly dissolve in the small intestine — providing sustained melatonin release throughout the night rather than a sharp spike and crash.* This mimics the body's own gradual melatonin secretion pattern, promoting natural-feeling sleep onset, deeper sleep stages, and a more refreshed morning awakening.*
Key Benefits
Prolonged-release formula — sustained melatonin delivery throughout the night*
Supports natural sleep onset and deep sleep stages*
Regulates circadian rhythm — ideal for jet lag, shift work, and sleep schedule reset*
3 mg dose — clinical sweet spot for melatonin supplementation without morning grogginess

Who Is This For?
Melatonin PR 3mg is ideal for individuals with insomnia, delayed sleep phase syndrome, jet lag, shift work disruption, or those looking to reset their circadian rhythm. The prolonged-release format particularly benefits those who fall asleep easily but wake in the middle of the night. Recommended by Michelle Tonkin ND for sleep restoration protocols.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why use prolonged-release vs. standard melatonin?
A: Standard melatonin peaks quickly and may wear off after a few hours — causing mid-night waking. Prolonged-release delivers melatonin across the full sleep period, supporting sleep maintenance as well as initiation.*
Q: Is 3mg the right dose?
A: Research shows that lower doses (0.5–3mg) are as effective as higher doses (5–10mg) for most people, with less risk of morning grogginess. Start at 3mg and adjust as needed with your practitioner's guidance.
Q: Can I take this every night long-term?
A: Melatonin is generally non-habit-forming. Long-term nightly use should be discussed with your healthcare provider, as some practitioners recommend cycling melatonin to preserve endogenous production.
