Sustained Release Melatonin 3mg
SUPPORTS RESTFUL SLEEP
Overview
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced in the brain by the pineal gland. Circulating levels of melatonin in the body
vary throughout the day depending on environmental factors. The release and synthesis of melatonin are suppressed by light and
stimulated by darkness; this suggests melatonin plays an integral role in circadian rhythms (biochemical, physiological or
behavioral processes based on a 24 hour cycle) throughout the body.
Melatonin has been described as a pervasive and powerful antioxidant due to its ability to easily cross cell membranes and the
blood-brain barrier. Certain trials have demonstrated melatonin’s ability to prevent damage to DNA by some carcinogens as well
as protect against immune disorders, cardiovascular disease, and depression. As research continues to uncover melatonin’s many
health giving benefits, it is most widely known for its sleep promoting properties. Since melatonin production is inhibited by
light and permitted by darkness, as evening approaches the pineal gland secretes melatonin which causes drowsiness and lowers
body temperature. Melatonin levels continue to increase and peak in the middle of the night but gradually taper by morning – this
effect is known as the melatonin phase-response curve (PRC). While melatonin supplementation is an effective natural aid to for
better sleep, it can be counterproductive and disrupt the PRC when taken in large doses; for instance, 1mg of melatonin would be
better utilized in the body as opposed to a 20mg dosage.
Our Sustained Release Melatonin 3mg has been formulated to steadily release melatonin and ensure availability throughout the
night to promote a constant and restful sleep.
