Question: I am taking Melatonin for sleeping which is not working. Can you please tell me if is okay to take Relaxin at the same time? I want to make sure when I take Relaxin, do I get used to it?
Thank you.

Answer:
Melatonin does not help some people fall asleep. Rather, it wakes them up.

Relaxin is a good choice. You may try taking 1 soft gel capsule 30 minutes before bedtime.  If one capsule isn't working, you may take two.

Magnesium deficiency is highly common. Magnesium deficiency also causes improper sleep and difficulty falling asleep.
Consider taking Magnesium Glycinate three times a day. The Glycinate form of Magnesium is very well absorbed and easy on the stomach.  Magnesium Plus by Seeking Health also contains vitamin B6, which aids your body in metabolizing and absorbing magnesium.

If your problem relates to staying asleep at night, this is typically due to low protein. Ensure that you have a protein snack before bed to ensure more peaceful sleep. Beans or chicken are a great protein source.

Should you have further questions, please do ask.
