Is Melatonin legal in Malta?

Situación jurídica

There is no EU-harmonised limit for melatonin in food supplements - each member state sets its own rule.

No Maltese national maximum was identified. Malta applies EU food law, and no national "other substances" maximum-level list could be located. That absence is the finding rather than a permission.

One specific residual risk is worth stating: Maltese medicines regulation is historically UK-influenced, and the UK treats melatonin as a prescription-only medicine at any dose. A divergent Maltese medicinal classification cannot be excluded on the evidence available.

Melatonin is the least settled ingredient in this formula for Malta, which is the reverse of most markets. Malta has no national limit for melatonin in supplements, so our 1 mg dose isn't restricted by any rule we can identify - but we also haven't found positive confirmation of how Malta treats it, and we'd rather say that than imply more certainty than we have.

We're seeking a direct answer on this one.

Perspectivas

Malta is the strongest cannabinoid market assessed, which makes melatonin the one unresolved question here rather than a footnote.

The most likely source of a clear answer is a direct determination from the Malta Medicines Authority on whether melatonin is treated as a medicine at any dose; failing that, EU-level harmonisation.
