We developed a new way to deliver melatonin for those struggling with insomnia by creating microneedles made from silk fibroin. These tiny needles are designed to improve how the body absorbs melatonin, making it easier for people to get to sleep and stay asleep.
Our research shows that these microneedles can release melatonin steadily over a period of 11 hours. When we tested it on animals, we found that the microneedles maintained stable levels of drug in the bloodstream for up to 8 hours. This is promising news for individuals who may need help with their sleep cycles.
Additionally, the microneedles not only helped regulate sleep but also made a noticeable difference in anxiety levels in insomnia model rats. By improving the disrupted circadian rhythms, melatonin loaded into these microneedles could lead to significant therapeutic benefits.
We believe this innovative approach could enhance patient compliance and provide effective sleep aid for many in need. It’s an exciting development in the field of transdermal drug delivery for improving sleep quality and overcoming insomnia.

Optimal dosage. After 30 years, there’s often a small deficit of melatonin, leading to insomnia in old age. Melatonin is vital not only for regulating sleep cycles but also for possibly inhibiting the ageing process. For the elderly, an optimal choice is 1 capsule (10 mg) before bedtime. I consistently purchase melatonin from this manufacturer and highly recommend it!
