Melatonin
€280.00
Melatonin is the body’s natural sleep hormone, produced by the pineal gland in response to darkness. It regulates the circadian rhythm — your internal 24-hour clock — and is one of the most studied natural compounds in sleep and chronobiology research. Supplied as lyophilized powder with ≥98% purity (HPLC-verified).
How It Works
When light fades, the pineal gland releases melatonin, telling your body it’s time to sleep. Beyond sleep regulation, melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that crosses the blood-brain barrier and protects mitochondria — the energy factories inside every cell — from oxidative damage.
Research Data
- Sleep quality: Meta-analyses of dozens of clinical trials show melatonin reduces the time to fall asleep by an average of 7-12 minutes, increases total sleep time, and improves overall sleep quality scores.
- Circadian rhythm: Effective for jet lag, shift work sleep disorder, and circadian rhythm disruptions. Research shows the timing of melatonin is more important than the dose for circadian effects.
- Antioxidant power: Unlike most antioxidants that neutralize one free radical and are spent, melatonin and its metabolites form a cascade that can neutralize multiple free radicals — making it exceptionally efficient.
- Mitochondrial protection: Melatonin concentrates in mitochondria, protecting these energy-producing organelles from the oxidative damage they naturally generate. This gives it potential relevance in aging and metabolic research.
- Immune function: Modulates immune activity, with research showing both immune-stimulating and anti-inflammatory properties depending on context and dose.
- Cancer research: Investigated as an adjuvant in cancer treatment for its ability to reduce treatment side effects, improve sleep, and potentially enhance treatment efficacy through antioxidant and immune mechanisms.
- Neuroprotection: Research explores melatonin’s role in protecting brain cells from degeneration, with studies in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease models.

Community Buzz
Injectable melatonin provides far superior absorption compared to oral supplements, which have notoriously poor and variable bioavailability. The community uses it for sleep onset, circadian rhythm reset (jet lag, shift work), and the powerful antioxidant effects that high-dose melatonin provides — protecting mitochondria and DNA from oxidative damage. Often used alongside sleep peptides like DSIP for comprehensive sleep optimization.
Why People Are Interested
- Maximum absorption. Injectable bypasses the gut for near-complete bioavailability vs 3-15% oral.
- Potent antioxidant. At higher doses, melatonin is one of the body’s most powerful endogenous antioxidants.

Delivery Time: 6 to 12 business days worldwide.
Tracking: A tracking number is provided via email once your order has been dispatched.
For any questions regarding your shipment, please contact our support team.
All peptide products are supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in sterile glass vials. Lyophilization preserves the peptide's structural integrity and biological activity during transport and storage. The powder must be reconstituted with an appropriate solvent before use in research protocols.
Recommended Solvent
For most peptide research applications, we recommend using Bacteriostatic Water (BAC) — sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic agent. BAC water helps maintain sterility after reconstitution and is suitable for multi-dose research protocols.

Reconstitution Protocol
- Prepare: Clean your work surface and ensure all materials (vial, BAC water, syringes) are handled in a sterile manner.
- Calculate: Determine the desired concentration by dividing the peptide mass (mg) by the volume of BAC water added (mL). For example, adding 2 mL of BAC water to a 5 mg vial yields a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL.
- Reconstitute: Using a sterile syringe, draw the calculated volume of BAC water. Insert the needle through the rubber stopper at an angle and slowly inject the solvent down the inner wall of the vial — avoid directing the stream directly onto the powder to prevent foaming.
- Dissolve: Gently swirl the vial (do not shake) until the powder is fully dissolved. Most peptides dissolve within 1-2 minutes. A clear, colorless solution indicates complete dissolution.
- Aliquot: For long-term use, transfer the reconstituted solution into sterile aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of the original vial.
Post-Reconstitution Storage
- Store reconstituted peptide solution at 2-8°C for short-term use (up to 7 days).
- For extended storage, aliquot and freeze at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
- Always label aliquots with peptide name, concentration, date, and storage conditions.
Note: The optimal solvent and reconstitution protocol may vary depending on the specific peptide and research application. Researchers should consult peptide-specific literature for solubility guidance.
