Melatonin is a hormone produced in the body and secreted at night. Taken as a dietary supplement, it is designed to help combat insomnia and may be useful for jet-lag. N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, or melatonin, is hormone produced naturally by the body in the pineal gland of the brain. The release of melatonin correlates with the body's cycle of day and night. The highest levels of the hormone are produced at night. Trace amounts of melatonin appears in foods. Melatonin may play an essential role in sleeping, disorders, depression, and immune system deficiencies. As light inhibits its production, and darkness stimulates it, melatonin regulates the body's internal clock. Double blind research shows that this hormone helps people sleep, shortens the number of awakenings in the night, and improves the quality of sleep. It is also very useful in treating jet lag, as it promotes quicker recovery from that "out of it" stage one may experience after extended periods of flight. Research has also shown that having enough melatonin exhibits positive psychological benefits on a person's mood, while a lack of melatonin corresponds to anxiety, fatigue, and hostility. Melatonin has also been investigated for its anti-aging potential. Supplement Facts:

No groggy feeling the next day, just very refreshed and well rested. A must if you travel a lot and experience jet leg. I bottle will last you a long time, and you won't be at all disappointed. sleep easy By: ShaneReview posted on: Tue Nov 13 16:55:10 -0500 2007 at it's price it's a must, as long as u don't over do it on the melatonin you'll be fine, deep relaxing sleeps, try not to use it every night but on workoput days it's a must esp if you lift in the late afternoon or evening and like a couple of stims in the mix, so it's a great way to come down of the stims, love this stuff!!! ZZZZZZZ... By: matthewReview posted on: Tue Nov 13 16:54:57 -0500 2007 Great supplement! If you have problems sleeping, or you toss and turn all night - then this is the stuff for you! I'll take a "stim" sometimes before I hit the iron and cardio, and the "stim" stays with me for a while - take 1 melatonin before bed and it's off to dream land for me! |
