Q1: What does melatonin do besides support sleep?
A:
While melatonin is best known for supporting restful sleep, research has explored its broader role in overall wellness. Studies suggest melatonin may also:
- Help regulate circadian rhythms
- Act as a powerful antioxidant to support cellular health
- Assist in maintaining healthy energy metabolism
- Support immune system balance
- Contribute to mood stability and emotional well-being
As melatonin levels naturally decline with age, many people explore gentle supplementation as part of their daily wellness strategy.
Always consult your healthcare provider before using any hormone-based product.
Q2: Can melatonin be absorbed through the skin?
A:
Yes, studies have shown that melatonin can be absorbed transdermally (through the skin). This method bypasses the digestive system and may offer gradual, sustained absorption compared to oral supplements, which typically have a shorter active window. Some users prefer this option for its convenience and steady release.
Q3: Can I take this oil orally?
A:
Progest Sleep is designed for topical use only. While the ingredients (MCT oil, melatonin, and USP-grade progesterone) are generally regarded as safe, the product is not formulated or flavored for oral consumption. For best results, apply as directed to the skin.
Q4: Is the progesterone in Progest Sleep bioidentical?
A:
Yes! We only use USP-grade bioidentical progesterone, which is molecularly identical to the progesterone naturally produced by the human body.
Q5: Should I cycle this product?
A:
Cycling use of progesterone-based products is often recommended to mirror the body’s natural hormone rhythms.
- For cycling women: many choose to use progesterone during the last 14 days of their menstrual cycle.
- For menopausal women: cycling is optional — some prefer nightly use, while others take periodic breaks.
Consult a healthcare provider to determine the right schedule for your body.
Q6: The oil feels grainy or looks white — is that normal?
A:
Yes, this is completely normal. Melatonin can have a slightly grainy texture, which dissolves quickly when rubbed into the skin. The oil may also appear milky white due to the ingredients. Always shake well before use, as the hormones can naturally separate from the oil between applications.
