Vita Sciences Maxasorb Melatonin Cream: A Review

As someone that tries to utilize herbal remedies before pharmacological ones, I'm all about the melatonin when I have trouble sleeping. Melatonin is very well known for helping with sleep. I know a ton of people that use it successfully and, generally, it doesn't have many side effects. It is typically taken as a supplement, so when Vita Sciences sent me a bottle of their melatonin cream to review, I was super intrigued.

Here's what Vita Sciences has to say about their product:

Melatonin is the hormone that controls daily day-night cycles of sleep. Some sleep disorders, such as insomnia and Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS), are attributed to low melatonin levels. Travelers suffering from jet lag and swing shift workers may also benefit from supplemented melatonin. As we age our bodies do not make sufficient melatonin. Sleep enhancement is possible in healthy people as well with additional melatonin that may:

* Decrease the time needed to fall asleep;
* Increase sleepiness;
* Increase sleep duration.

Each measured dose of Maxasorb Melatonin lotion from our airless dispenser delivers 3 milligrams of melatonin with a full press of the pump. Just before bedtime, rub the easily absorbed, odorless lotion on your arms or legs. For travelers trying to ease the effects of jet lag, apply Maxasorb™ Melatonin lotion the day of travel close to the target bedtime at your destination. This will aid in falling asleep faster, improves alertness during the day, and reduces daytime fatigue. Use the product throughout the trip and for a week after return to help your body readjust its natural sleep cycle. Natural ingredients assure this lotion is gentle to your skin.

This stuff is interesting for many reasons. For one, its super convenient... think about it. Say you're having trouble getting to sleep and are tossing and turning in bed, but just don't feel like getting up to grab a glass of water and fishing around for your herbal supplements. Since this stuff is a cream, all you need is some cream and your hand. They say that one pump is equivalent to 3 mg of melatonin, which is pretty great. Most people only need a pump  (or two) to help get to sleep. So convenient!

I actually think this stuff works really great, though I was definitely skeptical at first. I mean, who uses a cream instead of an oral supplement when it comes to sleep aids? It makes so much sense though, and that velvety smooth texture is comforting and soothing. After applying this cream (just one pump!) for a few nights in a row, I definitely have noticed a deeper, smooth sleep. In addiiton, I wake up feeling totally refreshed!

You can purchase Vita Sciences melatonin cream for just  $19.95 (normally $29.95!) right here.
