Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland. As a supplement, it is useful for regulating sleep and the body’s daily rhythmic cycle, making it ideal for jet lag. Melatonin is also an important antioxidant that acts as an effective scavenger of free radicals. Various factors may cause melatonin levels to become low, such as inadequate dietary intake of its precursor tryptophan, low levels of serotonin, normal aging, insufficient exposure to natural light, and certain medications. Melatonin may support a healthy immune and stress response.

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, a pea-sized endocrine gland located in the brain. One of melatonin’s primary functions is to help regulate sleep by controlling the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, known as the circadian rhythm or 24-hour biological clock. Melatonin regulates the body’s sleep response when exposed to natural light. The brain releases more melatonin toward the end of the day to prepare for sleep and decreases in the early morning as the sun rises. It also supports a healthy immune response and
antioxidant status in the body. Designs for Health offers melatonin in 3 mg capsules to support quality sleep, especially for individuals who have diffculty sleeping through the night.

Factors that may reduce the natural production of melatonin include the normal aging process, poor sleeping habits, insuffcient exposure to sunlight during the day, exposure to blue lights close to bedtime, excessive mental stress, high caffeine or alcohol intake near bedtime, certain medications, and inadequate intake of the nutrient cofactors required to synthesize it. The nutrients and compounds that are required for the body to produce healthy amounts of melatonin include the amino acid tryptophan, vitamin B6, folate, S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe), and iron.
