The Truth About Melatonin Supplements: Are They Really What You Need?
Are you struggling with sleep and tempted to reach for that bottle of melatonin supplements by your bedside? While melatonin supplements may seem like a quick fix for your sleep troubles, have you considered if they are really what your body needs?

Is OTC melatonin what it seems?
- Dr. Andrew Huberman
“It’s effective in that it can shift your circadian clock. But I am a strong believer in avoiding taking exogenous melatonin. First of all, it’s been well documented that many of the supplements that contain melatonin have far too much — 3 to 6 milligrams is a massive dose. Typically, the body makes very little melatonin.”
Ask Me Anything: Neuroscience with Andrew Huberman
- Dr. Matthew Walker
"Now, it can be somewhat efficacious, but the studies are equivocal. The US government does not regulate it, and from one different vendor to the next, the melatonin concentration relative to the bottle can be anywhere between 80% less to 460% more. So, it's a bit of a wild west, and you have to be quite careful. Most people tend to typically overdose with melatonin; they tend to typically take maybe five mg or 10 mg."

Not all melatonin is created equal.
Did you know that Over The Counter (OTC) melatonin is not ‘natural’? It is often mislabeled in terms of both the dose and the final ingredients. The ‘melatonin’ in melatonin supplements is a synthetic, lab-based version. Even some labeled natural are animal-based hormones. Both are different from your brain’s melatonin.
Recently a Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine study found that the dose of OTC melatonin supplements varied from −83% to +478% of what was labeled! So you can be getting a lot less than you intended or way too much!
When the average American takes 5mg, you can do the math that the dose difference could be huge. Especially when your brain naturally only makes 0.1 - 0.8mg…
Using OTC melatonin can cause a downregulation of your melatonin receptors.
Long-term use may change how your body produces natural melatonin and how the body’s receptors respond to your own natural melatonin.
Your system is flooded with a chemical version of a hormone, which isn’t the natural way. Not to mention the side effects some people experience.
With the right precursor nutrients, you can fuel your brain with the goodness it needs to produce the right amount of its own melatonin and serotonin.
With DELTA, your brain is in control without external hormones influencing its process. DELTA helps your brain get back to its best; its ingredients and unique formula support a natural sleep cycle. Your brain controls when your sleep and wake hormones kick in - at the right time and in the right amounts for you. With the correct nutrients, you produce melatonin and serotonin in line with a natural sleep architecture.

Great sleep results!
Having tried almost everything else for long-term sleep issues, I was a bit skeptical. Melatonin and SSRIs never worked. However, I tried a 10 Box of Delta and after first few uses all skeptical thoughts disappeared. My deep sleep quality increased, my mood was on top and funny thing, I never wanted to work so bad before. Great product.

I have tried all solutions on planet…
I have tried all solutions on planet earth for a better sleep. Pills, meditations, room set-up, but eventually nothing worked. My deep sleep was low and mornings were groggy. I was hopeless about the fact that I’ll be able to get back to the performance I’ve had in my 20s. Until I found delta…I took their 20 box which I used for a month (1 bottle every night from Monday to Friday) and my life started to pick up like it’s some kind of magic! Relationship with my family, work, health…It felt like in my deepest dreams that I had a hard time getting…Thank you so much for this amazing product! I’m putting it on subscription for sure.

Delta is great!
Delta is great! It has greatly improved my sleep. I have a much deeper sleep now! I even dream a lot now and can even remember my dreams! I have never dreamed so much! Now that I’m using Delta, I have much longer REM sleep and I wake up feeling refreshed!
