The Doctor's Formulas Sedar in a pack of 30 tablets is the size that people ask for at the pharmacy when they want to try a formula for the first time, or when they need it for a specific period, such as a trip with a time difference or a period with a change in schedule.
The characteristic of the composition is that each tablet clearly states what it contains: 1mg of melatonin, 20mg of tryptophan and five standardized herbal extracts. This 1mg is not a random number. It is exactly the amount for which there is an approved health claim in the European Union.
Melatonin contributes to reducing the time it takes to fall asleep.* The claim applies with the intake of 1mg of melatonin shortly before bedtime, an amount covered by one tablet.
This is the only claim that can be made for the formula. The remaining ingredients are described below without any promise of effect.
Hormone produced in the pineal gland. Its synthesis and secretion are activated by darkness and deactivated by light, which is why it is involved in the twenty-four-hour rhythm of the organism.
Essential amino acid that the body obtains from the proteins of food. In metabolism, it is the precursor molecule of serotonin and, through this, of melatonin.
Dry extract from the plant Passiflora incarnata. Standardization in isovitexin means that the amount of the characteristic flavonoid is constant in each batch.**
Dry extract of Valeriana officinalis root, one of the best-known herbs of European tradition.**
Dry extract from the plant also known as tricock, a shrub of the Greek countryside.**
Dry extract from the plant Papaver rhoeas, the wild poppy of the fields, with traditional use in infusions.**
Dry extract from the California poppy, a plant of the botanical tradition of North America.**
For adults who want a formula with a declared melatonin content of 1mg per tablet, in a one-month pack. It is a practical choice for trips with a time difference and for periods when the schedule changes.
It is not intended for children and adolescents, nor for pregnancy and breastfeeding without a doctor's recommendation. If you are taking sedatives, hypnotics, antiepileptics or anticoagulants, ask your doctor or pharmacist first.
The tablet is taken at night, shortly before going to bed. The approved claim of melatonin refers specifically to taking it shortly before you lie down.
No specific instruction is provided regarding the meal. If your stomach is sensitive, take it after a light dinner, with a little water.
With one tablet at night, the 30 tablets cover one month. If you are already using it regularly, there is also a pack of 60 tablets.
No. You should not exceed the recommended daily dose.
