Benefits, Information and Uses of
Melatonin: |
- Melatonin 3mg long acting
is a hormone produced by the body that regulates the body's
awake/sleep cycle and the various body functions that take place
throughout the day according to the circadian rhythm (biological
clock). Melatonin regulates our response to seasonal changes,
certain work conditions and jet lag recovery. It may help those with
sadness and other disorders in the winter.
|
- Melatonin is implicated in
cellular energy production and is a key anti-oxidant that
may protect the immune system.
|
- Hormone levels decline with
age and stress. Melatonin's decline may be associated with aging
processes such as reduced immunity to microbes, stress, mental decline, sleep disorders, cataract
development, etc.
|
- Melatonin plays a part in
the regulation of the reproductive hormones estrogen and
testosterone. Decreased levels of melatonin may be implicated in fibromyalgia.
|
- Melatonin can be taken as a
long acting tablet. (AWW offers a fast acting sublingual tablet as
well. Contact us for more information.) Children have
high levels of melatonin and do not need supplementation.

Melatonin is a significant
hormone produced in the pineal gland. The pineal gland is located in the
back of the head at the base of the brain. Melatonin production is essential
to life and longevity and is thought to be the pineal gland's sole function.
Melatonin production is highest in children and declines as one ages.
External factors such as environmental toxins, stress, medications, and
illness can decrease melatonin. Melatonin's anti-oxidant
properties boost the immune system and help protect all cells of the body. Many health issues of aging such as heart disease,
vascular disease, sleep disorders, declining mental functions, etc. may be
linked to decreasing levels of melatonin. More research is needed to clarify
melatonin's role in increasing the human life span.
Melatonin regulates activity
on the cellular and general body level.
Within cells, melatonin helps maintain energy production within the
mitochondria.
Another important function is
its regulation of the body's biological clock or circadian rhythm (the different body processes that take place
during preset times during each 24 hour time
period). Melatonin effects the amount of time we are awake and asleep and
our adjustment to changing seasons. An increase in melatonin levels
are triggered by evening darkness, while morning light, sensed by
stimulation of the retina, decreases levels. Therefore, one's exposure to
early morning light aids alertness, while exposure to even dimly lit rooms
can disrupt beneficial deep REM sleep needed at night. Seratonin effects
melatonin levels and both may play a part in reducing headaches,
anxious feeling and sadness. Throughout the day melatonin plays a role in
regulating fluctuating body temperature, blood pressure, mental alertness,
emotions, hormonal levels of estrogen and testosterone.
