There’s a reason that having a consistent sleep schedule is routinely cited as the best habit for healthy sleep. If you’re one of the many Americans who get less than the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep you know that sleeping late on the weekends can lead to missing your regular bedtime which means a groggy morning and tiredness throughout the day… and so on and so on.
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that triggers your body to sleep. Unfortunately, melatonin production can be disrupted by many factors such as age, diet, shift work and travel. Adding a melatonin supplement to your bedtime routine can help get you back on track to a healthy sleep schedule. It also acts as an antioxidant, combating the free radical damage associated with aging. Appropriate melatonin levels have also been tied to healthy cognition and stress management.
Swanson Melatonin Gummies offer a pill-free way to try melatonin with a potent 5 mg in a sweet strawberry flavor. Melatonin has been clinically studied—most commonly in dose ranges of 1-5 mg per day—for its potential to improve both sleep quality and quantity so you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

FAQ
- What does melatonin do in the body?
Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland in response to darkness. It helps regulate the body's internal clock, or circadian rhythm, by signaling that it's time to prepare for sleep. As evening approaches and light levels decrease, natural melatonin production increases to support the body's normal sleep-wake cycle. - How does melatonin help regulate the sleep-wake cycle?
The sleep-wake cycle is controlled by the body's internal 24-hour clock, which responds to changes in light and darkness. Melatonin levels naturally rise in the evening and fall in the morning, helping synchronize sleep and wake timing with the day-night cycle. Supplemental melatonin helps reinforce this natural signaling to support healthy sleep patterns, particularly during occasional disruptions to normal routines. - What factors can affect natural melatonin production?
Natural melatonin production is influenced by several factors, including light exposure, age, and daily habits. Bright light—especially blue light from electronic devices—can reduce melatonin production in the evening, while levels naturally decline with age. Irregular sleep schedules, shift work, and travel across time zones may also disrupt the body's normal circadian rhythm. Practicing good sleep hygiene and maintaining a consistent bedtime routine can help support healthy melatonin production. - Are gummy vitamins as effective as traditional vitamins?
Gummy vitamins can be just as effective as tablets or capsules when they provide appropriate amounts of nutrients and are taken as directed. Once digested, the body absorbs and uses the vitamins and minerals regardless of whether they come from a gummy, capsule, tablet, or food. The best format is the one you can take consistently as part of your daily wellness routine. - Are Swanson Melatonin Gummies suitable for special diets?
Swanson Melatonin Gummies are suitable for vegetarian lifestyles, are made with non-GMO ingredients, and are formulated without gluten or dairy. They are not suitable for vegan lifestyles. Individuals following a vegan diet should review the ingredient list before use.
