Description
Melatonin is most commonly used to regulate circadian rhythm and the sleep/wake cycle. It can benefit those with sleep disturbances, trouble falling asleep, waking in the night, daytime drowsiness, insomnia, or jet lag. Melatonin is a hormone secreted from the pineal gland in the brain. Melatonin also exhibits antioxidant properties. It has free radical scavenging effects and plays a role in increasing antioxidant enzymes such as S.O.D and glutathione, and decreases pro-oxidant enzymes. Melatonin exhibits neuroprotective effects on various parts of the central nervous system and may be beneficial for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and Huntington’s Disease.
