Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. As a dietary supplement ingredient, it has become one of the fastest-growing categories in the global nutraceutical market-driven by rising awareness of sleep health, increasing prevalence of sleep disorders, and consumer preference for natural sleep aids over prescription alternatives. For procurement teams, understanding the supply landscape is essential.
