Full Description

Melatonin is a hormone created by the pineal gland in our brains. This nutrient helps to govern sleep and wake cycles, bolster immune function, and protect cells from free radical damage commonly associated with aging. It can also be obtained through certain foods like dairy products or soybeans.

Melatonin is a hormone with vital roles in sleep/wake cycles and the body's perception of light. It is highest during childhood, but production steadily decreases as we age until it almost disappears completely by elderly years. Scientists believe that its peak at night regulates slumber and allows us to get an optimal amount of rest after darkness falls.

Melatonin is more than just a sleep aid - science has revealed that this hormone plays an important role in maintaining healthy immune responses to stress. Research suggests it helps keep natural killer cell activity from decreasing during periods of tension.

Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that can permeate all cells. It has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, protecting against free radical damage and preventing DNA damage more effectively than vitamins E or C. Studies have also shown it activates glutathione peroxidase, an essential brain enzyme involved in oxidation-reduction reactions which help protect neuronal tissue.

Usage Directions

Adults take 1 tablet 1 hour before bedtime as directed by physician only.
