Melatonin in food supplements – method for quantification established at AGROLAB BELAN

: Published: 08 January 2025

Our laboratory AGROLAB BELAN has successfully implemented the determination of melatonin in food supplements.

As a hormone produced naturally in the body, melatonin regulates the circadian and diurnal rhythms. In addition to the sleep-wake rhythm, it also regulates body temperature and blood pressure, among other things. With increasing age, the body produces less melatonin and its production can be influenced by external factors like artificial light, medication and lifestyle. In addition, the production and metabolism of melatonin can vary from person to person.

The popularity of melatonin as a dietary supplement has grown in recent years, and it is now available in a variety of forms, including soft gummies, drops and sprays.

YOUR PLUS: Our laboratory AGROLAB BELAN has successfully implemented a state-of-the-art HPLC-DAD method for food supplements. The method is validated for soft gummies, sprays, tablets/capsules and granulates. Please contact your regional contact person directly for a quotation, questions or explanations.
