Melatonin is a naturally occuring human hormone. Its has a 24 hour rhythm – with peak levels in the early morning and dips in the afternoon. Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland; a pea-sized gland located deep in the brain and is responsible for maintenance of our daily biological rhythm.Supplementation of melatonin may be supportive for individuals who are having poor sleep health (1). Blood levels of melatonin can be abnormally low in people with insomnia, sleep apnea, shift work and jet lag (2).Blood levels also decline with age (3)and there is significant interest in the use of melatonin as possible anti-aging benefit. To check the melatonin levels in your body, Try the SleepCheck at home test kit for melatonin hormone.Melatonin supplementation orally has been shown in perimenopausal and menopausal women in a randomized clinical trial to improve mood and even minor depressive symptoms (4).Melatonin production is initiated by darkness; hence melatonin supplements should be taken at night. Melatonin levels peak between 2:00 and 4:00 am. However, melatonin is more than the hormone that regulates sleep. Research indicates that melatonin may improve brain function and may also be one of the most powerful anti-aging hormones yet discovered.Melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant. Researchers are also studying Melatonin’s effect on preventing or helping Alzheimer’s (5)and Parkinson’s disease (6). Researchers have discovered that the pineal gland is the body’s ‘time clock’ and regulates the body’s rate of aging. Melatonin given to 18-month-old mice (the human equivalent of 60 years) has been shown to dramatically reverse aging, extending their life to the human equivalent of 105 years (7). Like many other hormones, melatonin levels decrease with age. This can lead to a reduced immune system and increased exposure to diseases like cancer, heart disease and high blood pressure.The Melatonin 3 measured dosage pump dispenses the doctor-recommended 3 mg. of natural
