Q: What is Mellow-Tone™
A: Mellow-Tone™ is a digestible strip with the active ingredient
melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in
the brain. As we age, the production of melatonin naturally decreases.
Mellow-Tone™ replaces the insufficient levels of melatonin allowing
the support of natural sleep patterns. Mellow-Tone™ is a non-narcotic,
non-addictive sleep-aid.
Q: What are the most common side effects?
A: The most common side effects of Mellow-Tone™ can be a headache
and morning grogginess, although rarely reported when dosing is proper.
 Q: Can I take Mellow-Tone™ if I am taking other
medications?
A: Before taking any other drug, ask your doctor or pharmacist about
possible interactions with Mellow-Tone. Never drink alcohol while
taking Mellow-Tone or any other sleep aid. Mellow-Tone is not recommended
for those taking antidepressant fluoxetine or the blood thinner Warfain.

as long as needed, keeping in mind, that Mellow-Tone™ is only to
be taken 5 nights per week max to avoid receptor site saturation.
