Melatonin - Do or don't?
by Felix T on May 23, 2024
Melatonin
Do you have trouble falling asleep? Studies show that 23% of all Belgians have sleep problems . So you are definitely not alone.
A big player in this story is melatonin. This hormone ensures that your body knows when it is time to go to sleep. Medication with melatonin is very addictive and loses its effect after a while. How can you still sleep well?
How does melatonin work?
Melatonin or the 'sleep hormone' plays an important role in regulating your biological clock. As soon as it starts to get dark, the production of melatonin increases. This is how your body knows it is time to go to sleep. The hormone makes you sleepy and helps you fall asleep faster.
A dose up to 0.29 mg
Since January 2016, melatonin has been available in Belgium without a prescription in pharmacies. The Belgian Public Health has decided that a dose of up to 0.29 mg falls under the category of 'food supplement' and may be sold freely.
Our body produces melatonin naturally , when you take too much melatonin, this substance disrupts your biological balance . When you experience sleep problems, it is important that you use supplements that do not disrupt your hormones and put your mental well-being first .
So limit your daily dose to 0.29 mg or opt for a healthier alternative developed by 3 pharmacists.

Why shouldn't you buy sleeping pills to improve your sleep?
Average sleeping pills are dangerous and full of chemicals.
They often contain high doses of melatonin, which can lead to habituation, dependence, addiction, overdose and even death!
In the long term, they can also be very damaging to your memory : several studies show a link between taking sleeping pills and Alzheimer's.
Please apply this first before trying our powerful solution
Most people who complain of fatigue only sleep deeply for 10 minutes a night. You can easily increase this to 1-2 hours a night.
Some tips to help you sleep better:
- Maintain a consistent sleep schedule .
- Do not drink caffeine or alcohol in the evening.
- Do n't take naps during the day.
- Exercise regularly .
- Expose yourself less to light in the evening.
- Make sure your heating is not too warm .
- Provide more exposure to natural light during the day
- ...
But that may not be enough to improve your night's sleep...
You know by now that the older you get, the less melatonin your body produces. To make your body produce enough melatonin, it is smart to take two active substances.
- Get enough vitamin B6: your body will convert this into melatonin.
- Increase your melatonin yourself with melatonin supplements: a healthy, non-addictive amount is about 0.3 mg/day.
A formula with 3 powerful herbs
Use a blend of these 3 powerful herbs to calm your body and mind and help you sleep better. This way you can fall asleep when you want to, not when your body decides.
Ready to sleep without worries with these 3 powerful herbs?
- L-theanine
- Valerian
- Chamomile
1. L-theanine: find your inner peace in the chaos of everyday life
L-theanine does a number of things to calm you down both physically and mentally .
I won't bore you with the science behind it, just remember this:
- Taking L-theanine in the evening will help your muscles relax from their constant tension throughout the day.
- It slows down your heart rate, which is necessary for falling asleep.
- It works on your nervous system , which helps relieve your stress throughout the day.
2. Valerian: enhances the calming effect for even better results
Valerian works in a similar way to L-theanine and therefore also has a calming effect on your body.
Valerian not only calms your body, it also inhibits the substances that break down your sedatives. This way it strengthens the sedative effect .
3. Chamomile: Organize your thoughts with the peace and power of chamomile
Chamomile has a calming effect on your body and it works deeper into your physical relaxation . Chamomile is well known and is often drunk as a tea.
To get the best effect, you should combine it with other sedatives, but this is not always easy. The most effective method will surprise you.



But how can I easily take those 3 substances?
These natural substances are not easy to find, expensive and unpleasant to take pure.
And how much should you take? Today's solutions are barely sustainable in your daily routine.
- You forget to take them (consistently) because there is nothing fun about them.
- The taste is often bad.
- The capsules or pills are sometimes so large that they be difficult to swallow.
- They are often ineffective and are not properly absorbed by your body.
A scientific vitamin gummy that contains everything you need
My demanding job brought a lot of stress with it. I was tense and started to suffer from various symptoms.
At night I had trouble falling asleep and when I finally did sleep I would often wake up sweating and restless, which would prevent me from falling asleep again.
I had to simplify my routine so that I could balance my work and health well. I couldn't follow complicated routines every day because I often forgot them and I didn't really like them.
That's how I discovered these ingredients.
I started making herbal tea at home with valerian, L-theanine and chamomile, took vitamin B6 pills and started using a melatonin spray.
But I knew it could be better.
After a week I started to forget the steps. I didn't have time to make that tea every day and order all those ingredients.
Do you realize how expensive those supplements are? I spent 80 euros a month!
You should be able to get powerful sleep benefits in the most fun way possible; by eating a tasty piece of candy. Imagine how much fun that would be.
So that's how I started GIMMY .
It took 1 year before we, together with 3 pharmacists, came up with this formula.
