Formulation Notes

Somesta combines quality natural ingredients to combat occasional sleeplessness on a long term basis: compounds such as melatonin are commonly found in healthy people, however many individuals do not produce enough of these compounds, and as a result experience trouble falling asleep and sleeping through the night. The ingredients in Somesta have been carefully balanced to complement each other and produce positive results in a relatively short time.
