Melatonin 2mg

Melatonin is an organic chemical compound, a natural hormone derived from tryptophan, which plays the role of "sleep hormone" in the human body. It is produced by the brain via the pineal gland. Its circulating levels in the body vary throughout the day in relation to environmental factors. With age, the level of melatonin in the body decreases, so it is worth supplementing to keep our body functioning properly. The right amount in the body helps maintain immunity and has antioxidant properties. Melatonin is a powerful free radical scavenger naturally produced in the pineal gland and present in large quantities in the gastrointestinal tract.
It is involved in many of the biological functions of the body, brain and gland including regulating normal sleep / wake cycles, regulating the immune system, and maintaining a healthy gastrointestinal lining.
The release and synthesis of melatonin are suppressed by light and stimulated by darkness, which suggests that the element is playing a vital role in the circadian rhythm (biochemical, physiological and behavioral processes, based on the 24-hour cycle) in the body. .
Melatonin is described as a powerfully penetrating antioxidant due to its ability to easily pass through cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier. Studies show that it can protect DNA from destruction by carcinogens, as well as from heart disease, depression, and immune system disorders.
While scientific evidence continues to reveal the sheer amount of its health benefits, Melatonin is primarily known for its ability to stimulate sleep. Since its production is hindered by light and enhanced by darkness, as night approaches, the epiphysis secretes melatonin, which causes the sensation of sleepiness and lowers the body temperature.
Melatonin levels continue to rise, peaking in the middle of the night and gradually decreasing as dawn approaches - this effect is known as the Melatonin Phase Response Curve (PRC).
