Product Description
Melatonin is a hormone (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) produced mainly at night by the pineal gland. Its secretion is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light. Melatonin, an indole, is synthesized from tryptophan by serotonin. The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus have melatonin receptors, and melatonin can act directly on the NSCs to influence the circadian (sleep) rhythm.

Insomnia results from disrupted circadian rhythms or deficient melatonin levels, which naturally decline with age. Melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant that can easily cross cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier. Clinical evidence supports the role of melatonin supplementation in individuals with insomnia, those with jet lag and people who work night shifts, where it helps decrease the time it takes to fall asleep (sleep latency), increases the amount of time slept, and improves sleep quality.
Melatonin supplementation can also be effective for insomnia in children suffering from autism or ADHD and in the elderly.
Melatonin SAP can help:
- Support disrupted circadian rhythms
- Promote good mental health
- Improve sleep quality and mood balance
- Regulates deficient melatonin levels
