The Doctor's Formulas Sedar is a dietary supplement in tablets that combines melatonin, the amino acid L-tryptophan and a blend of herbal extracts with long traditional use in the evening routine, such as passionflower, valerian, hawthorn, red poppy and California poppy.
The 60 tablet pack is the large version of the formula. It is usually chosen by those who have already tried the product and want to have it at home for a longer period of time, without having to go to the pharmacy every few weeks. With daily intake of one tablet, the pack covers approximately two months.
The Sedar is not a medicine and does not replace any treatment. It is a supplement that fits into the evening routine, alongside the simple things that count: a fixed bedtime, fewer screens in the last half hour, a dark and cool room, a light dinner.
Melatonin is a hormone produced by the body itself, in the pineal gland of the brain. Its secretion follows the light and darkness: it rises as it gets dark and recedes in the morning, which is why it is closely linked to the 24-hour biological rhythm. As a nutrient it has an approved health claim, but it only applies to a specific amount per dose. Because the content per tablet is not listed in the information accompanying the specific pack, consult the product label.
An essential amino acid, meaning the body does not synthesize it and gets it from dietary proteins, from foods such as milk, eggs, chicken, nuts and seeds. In human metabolism, tryptophan is the precursor molecule of serotonin and, through it, of melatonin.

It is not intended for children and adolescents. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication, especially sedatives, hypnotics, antiepileptics or anticoagulants, consult your doctor or pharmacist first. The same applies if the difficulty in sleeping lasts a long time, as it needs to be evaluated by a health professional and not by a supplement.
Follow the instructions on the package or the recommendation of your doctor or pharmacist. It is an evening formula, so the intake is at the end of the day and not in the morning.
No. After taking melatonin, you should not drive or operate machinery. Take it when you have completed your day's duties and are preparing for sleep.
With one tablet a day it covers approximately two months, which is double the duration of the 30 tablet pack.
If you are on medication, ask first. The combination with drugs that affect alertness, anticoagulants or other formulations containing the same herbs requires the opinion of your doctor or pharmacist.
The response varies from person to person. If you notice drowsiness the next day, discuss it with your pharmacist before continuing.
