Melatonin and CBD

By Debbie L.

Melatonin is a hormone that is produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It plays a key role in regulating the sleep-wake cycles (circadian rhythm) of the body. Melatonin levels in the body typically rise in the evening as it gets dark, helping promote sleep, and drop in the morning as daylight increases.

Some people take melatonin supplements to help with sleep related issues such as insomnia or jet lag. It is often used as a short-term solution for sleep disturbances.

 Melatonin is generally considered safe and effective for short term use and is available over the counter in many countries.

 Hemp derived CBD is also used as an effective sleep aid and is considered safe to take with melatonin. CBD helps reduce anxiety and pain, which can be the cause of sleep issues, and Melatonin helps to promote sleepiness, and is non-additive. Their sleep benefits complement each other, and combining them, increases the effects of each in some people.

 Bay Mountain AG’s sleep gummies contain gentle, effective levels of CBD and Melatonin (per gummy 25 mg CBD, and 1 mg melatonin), and are available at baymountainag.com.  

 Be conscious of possible risks, which include for some individual’s, drowsiness, dizziness, and headaches. It is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement if you have an underlying health condition.
