Solaray Melatonin with L-Glycine 10mg (100 VegCaps)

Achieve Restful, Uninterrupted Sleep with Advanced Dual-Action Support

Tossing and turning, waking up at 3:00 AM, or waking up groggy can derail your entire day. While standard sleep aids only address one piece of the puzzle, Solaray Melatonin with L-Glycine 10mg is engineered with a synergistic, two-part formula designed to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep through the night.

By combining 10 mg of Extended-Release Melatonin with 1,000 mg of free-form L-Glycine, this comprehensive botanical and amino acid complex supports your body's natural circadian rhythm and quietens an overactive nervous system.

Why Pair Extended-Release Melatonin with L-Glycine?

Standard melatonin supplements flood your system all at once, which may help with initial sleep onset but often wears off after 2 to 4 hours, leading to frustrating middle-of-the-night awakenings. Solaray's formula approaches sleep from two physiological pathways:

1. Sustained-Release Melatonin (10 mg)

Melatonin is your body's primary chronobiotic hormone, signaling to the brain that it is time to transition into sleep. Solaray utilizes an extended-release micro-delivery system (using sustainable palm oil, hypromellose, and sunflower lecithin). Instead of peaking instantly, it releases steadily over several hours to mirror your body’s natural nighttime melatonin production - helping you maintain uninterrupted REM and deep slow-wave sleep cycles.

2. Neurological Calming with L-Glycine (1,000 mg)

L-Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that acts as a natural "brake" on an overstimulated central nervous system. Clinical research indicates that glycine promotes relaxation by:

• Lowering core body temperature: Vasodilation in the extremities allows excess heat to escape, which is a mandatory biological cue for deep sleep entry.

• Calming nighttime mental chatter: Glycine binds to NMDA receptors in the hippocampus, easing that "tired but wired" sensation.

• Reducing next-day grogginess: Unlike heavy sedatives, glycine improves subjective sleep satisfaction without inducing morning brain fog.

Key Benefits of Solaray Melatonin with L-Glycine Formula

• All-Night Sleep Maintenance: Timed-release formulation prevents middle-of-the-night sleep fragmentation.

• Rapid Sleep Onset: Helps synchronize internal biological clocks disrupted by screen light, travel, or shift work.

• Muscle & Nervous System Relaxation: 1,000 mg of pure amino acid support calms physical tension before bedtime.

• Non-Habit Forming: Works with endogenous neurochemical pathways rather than forcing artificial sedation.

• Clean & Plant-Based: Packaged in 100% vegetarian cellulose capsules (VegCaps) without artificial fillers or animal gelatin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What makes Solaray Melatonin with L-Glycine different from regular melatonin?

Regular melatonin products dissolve rapidly in your digestive tract, creating a sharp spike in blood melatonin levels that falls off midway through the night. Solaray’s formula pairs sustained-release melatonin - which steadily releases over several hours - with 1,000 mg of L-Glycine, an amino acid proven to relax the central nervous system and reduce core body temperature for deeper, uninterrupted sleep.

Will taking 10mg of melatonin with glycine cause morning grogginess?

Most users report waking up refreshed rather than sluggish. The inclusion of L-Glycine has been clinically shown to reduce subjective fatigue and enhance next-day alertness. If you experience mild drowsiness upon waking, ensure you allow a full 7 to 8 hours in bed after taking your capsule.

Why is L-Glycine included at 1,000 mg?

1,000 mg (1 gram) of free-form L-Glycine provides an effective, clinically relevant dose to stimulate peripheral blood flow and cross the blood-brain barrier. There, it activates inhibitory receptors that calm racing thoughts and prepare physical muscle tissues for rest.

Can I take this product every night?

Solaray Melatonin with L-Glycine is non-habit forming and does not suppress the body's natural sleep mechanics like prescription sedatives. It is ideal for resetting disrupted circadian rhythms caused by jet lag, shift work, or periods of high stress. For chronic sleeplessness lasting longer than a month, consult your physician to identify underlying causes.

Are these capsules 100% vegetarian?

Yes. Solaray utilizes clean VegCaps formulated from vegetable cellulose and hypromellose, making this sleep aid 100% vegetarian and vegan friendly.
