Biological Availability Clinical Trial
Official title:
Study of the Bioavailability of a Food Supplement Rich in Melatonin Administered Sublingually Compared to Its Oral Administration. Randomized, Crossover, Single-blind Study
Sleep disorders represent an important public health problem that cause important personal problems, absenteeism and considerable health costs. Although the main drugs used for the treatment of insomnia are still Benzodiazepines and Z-drugs (Zolpidem, Zopiclone, Zaleplon), these are not entirely effective and have numerous side effects that lead to poor compliance with therapy . For the treatment of sleep disorders, alternative non-pharmacological therapies have also been implemented, such as cognitive therapy, relaxation therapy, and the introduction of new agents, including the use of melatonin as a human endogenous molecule with low or zero toxicity. In Europe, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has stated that "A cause and effect relationship is established between the consumption of melatonin and the alleviation of subjective feelings of jet lag. In order to present the declaration of health, the dose of melatonin should be between 0.5 and 5 mg and should be taken close to bedtime on the first day (and subsequent days) of the trip and the following days after arrival at destination.The target population is the general population ". On the other hand, the EFSA states that "A cause and effect relationship is established between the consumption of melatonin and the reduction of sleep onset latency. The Panel considers that to obtain the declared effect, 1 mg of melatonin should be consumed near bedtime. The target population is the general population." The results of several studies in humans show that melatonin administered orally has a low bioavailability (approximately percentage) and a very short half-life. Therefore, it has been suggested that the sublingual route represents an attractive alternative for the administration of compounds that have a low bioavailability, since through this route, the substances are distributed throughout the body avoiding the loss of the compounds by their first-pass metabolism by the liver, as well as the loss by the process of absorption by the digestive system. On this basis the present hypothesis is posed: the administration of melatonin sublingually will have a greater bioavailability than the administration of melatonin orally. The main objective of this study was to quantify the bioavailability of 1 mg of melatonin when administered sublingually and orally.
