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 in the dark. Production peaks between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., which is why it is sometimes called the “sleep hormone” or the “darkness hormone.” Through melatonin, the pineal gland signals to the brain the relative durations of darkness and light over a 24-hour period (daily cycle) as well as throughout the year (seasonal cycle). By secreting melatonin, the pineal gland “tells” the brain that it is dark and that it is time to sleep.
L-5-H-T-P derived from Griffonia 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.
Kal Laboratories combines melatonin with L-5-H-T-P extracted from Griffonia seeds and B vitamins to help you with:
L-5-H-T-P, extracted from Griffonia seeds, is a precursor to 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.
Kal Laboratories has cleverly combined melatonin with L-5-H-T-P to create a dietary supplement that provides long-lasting benefits for sleep and mental well-being. This unique combination helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle by promoting faster sleep onset and improving sleep quality. In addition, it helps maintain optimal emotional balance, thereby reducing symptoms of depression and chronic fatigue.
In addition to melatonin and L-5-H-T-P, Kal MELATONIN + 5-HTP EXTENDED-RELEASE 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 function. Thus, this comprehensive formula provides essential nutritional support to promote restful sleep and optimal mental well-being.

Here are a few tips to help you prepare for falling asleep and getting a good night’s sleep.
- Choose foods that promote good sleep. This is especially true for foods rich in tryptophan, such as legumes (lentils, chickpeas, dried beans), seeds (squash, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin), cashews, dates, bananas, and mangoes.
- Eat dinner 2 or 3 hours before bedtime to allow time for digestion before—rather than during—sleep, which could disrupt it.
- Avoid caffeine after 4 p.m., as it could prevent you from falling asleep.
- Take short naps during the day. In fact, a nap of 20 minutes (maximum) helps you stay more alert throughout the day and doesn’t delay falling asleep at night!
- Exercise—physical activity is a great stress reliever! As endorphins are released and tension is relieved, this promotes deep, slow-wave sleep—provided you don’t exercise within 2 to 3 hours of bedtime.
