Treatments For Sleep

No. Melatonin does not act as a sedative. Instead, it supports the timing and regulation of sleep by reinforcing the body’s natural sleep–wake rhythm.

Bio-identical melatonin is chemically identical to the melatonin produced naturally by the body. This allows it to work in harmony with normal physiological processes.

Melatonin may be helpful for individuals experiencing difficulty falling asleep, disrupted sleep, jet lag, shift work-related sleep disruption, or irregular sleep routines.

Some people notice improvements within a few days, while others may take a few weeks to experience more consistent sleep. Responses vary depending on individual sleep patterns and underlying factors.

When used appropriately, melatonin is not intended to cause next-day drowsiness. If you experience ongoing grogginess, this should be discussed during review.

Melatonin does not directly stimulate cognition. However, by supporting healthier sleep rhythms and overnight recovery, it may help reduce the cognitive effects of poor sleep, such as brain fog and low motivation.

Melatonin is generally considered safe when prescribed and monitored appropriately. Your suitability will be reviewed as part of your consultation and ongoing care.

If approved, melatonin is supplied as a daily oral capsule, delivered to your home every three months via subscription.

Some medications can interact with melatonin. Your assessment includes a medication review to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

Our prescriptions are issued by a specialist clinical team with focused expertise in personalised bioidentical hormone care. The service is designed to provide a simple, reliable way to access treatment and ongoing refills without interruptions.

While your GP plays an important role in your overall health, many are not trained in personalised bioidentical hormone prescribing or able to access compounded formulations, which are different from conventional hormone replacement therapies.
