Melatonin Powder (CAS 73-31-4) is a high-purity (>99%), naturally derived hormone synthesized from tryptophan, widely recognized for its role in regulating circadian rhythms and improving sleep quality. As a white crystalline powder with excellent solubility in ethanol (≥50 mg/mL), it is ideal for formulating dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and topical applications.
Supports healthy sleep patterns by synchronizing the body's internal clock, reducing time to fall asleep, and enhancing sleep duration.
Neutralizes free radicals, protects DNA from oxidative stress, and promotes skin elasticity.
Modulates immune function, reduces cortisol levels, and balances stress responses.
Emerging studies suggest potential benefits in migraine prevention and hormonal balance.
