Does Melatonin work in jet-lag?

Circadin.com February 13, 2022
Cochrane review (Herxheimer & Petrie, 2002) demonstrated a good effect of melatonin in treating the symptoms of jet lag50. One study (Suhner et al., 1998) found that a slow-release formulation of melatonin was somewhat less effective than immediate-release melatonin51 but recent studies showed that fast and controlled release formulation are equally potent in phase shifting 52.

The effect of Circadin® on jet-lag has not been studied in a clinical trial.
