Manufacturer’s Claim

The following review is for a product called Maxi Health Mel O Chew. It is a berry flavored chewable tablet formulated with the consumer in mind. This non-addictive supplement may be used when needed. Melatonin is a natural hormone made by the body’s pineal gland that enables a person to fall asleep and to stay asleep. As there are certain factors in life that affect people from day to day, this melatonin supplement might help restore healthy sleeping patterns, it is used to assist with jet lag, and even children may use it.

Maxi Health Mel O Chew Review – The Bottom Line

This supplement is Gluten Free, and Kosher Certified and the manufacturer gives the consumer the assurance that if they are unhappy with the product, that they will be assisted. Unfortunately would we not recommend this supplement as a Jet Lag aid, but rather as a sleep aid supplement. The reason, therefore, is that it does not contain clinically and scientifically key ingredients to aid in a dual purpose for Jet Lag. The consumer should be relaxed during the journey, and at the arrival of the destination should they feel refreshed. The fact that there are so many additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients, adds to this conclusion.
