Melatonin

Highlights:

Melatonin is a pivotal regulator of the body's circadian rhythm, making it crucial for maintaining healthy sleep-wake cycles. Its role becomes particularly beneficial for individuals with erratic sleep patterns, as melatonin can aid in stabilizing and regulating their sleep cycles.

Clinical Applications:

• Promotes Healthy Sleep Patterns
• Regulates the Body’s Circadian Rhythm
• Maintains Normal Inflammatory Balance
• Assists in Combating Jet Lag

Melatonin is primarily synthesized in the pineal gland, although it's also produced in other areas like bone marrow, platelets, GI tract, eyes, skin, and lymphocytes. Its precursor is serotonin, derived from tryptophan, which undergoes acetylation and methylation to become melatonin. Light exposure to the eyes influences melatonin synthesis, with higher concentrations at night. This hormone's significant impact on circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycles underscores its role in promoting regular sleep patterns and overall antioxidant function.

Melatonin, crucial for regulating the body’s circadian rhythms and inducing sleep, is primarily produced in the pineal gland. It's particularly beneficial for individuals with irregular sleep patterns and is available in flexible 1 mg tablet dosing.

Suggested Use:

1 or more tablets per day or as recommended by your health care professional.
