Resets your Biological Clock
MELATONIN 3mg (PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE) is nature's biological clock hormone. We use only pharmaceutical grade melatonin at 3mg - proven to be the most effective amount in most cases. Research indicates that Melatonin may be associated with the regulation of sleep/wake cycles and is used to help with sleep and jet lag. What is seldom known is that Melatonin is a potent antioxidant that defends against free radicals and helps to support glutathione activity in the neural tissue - which plays a primary role in building a stronger immune system.
What is Melatonin and what source does it come from
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the
pineal gland that plays a role in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle. The
pineal is embedded in the brain and receives signals via the optic nerve.
Melatonin is secreted by the gland after the body senses darkness at the end of
each day to keep our bodies synchronized with the rhythms of day and night.
Melatonin is often used as a home remedy for jet lag.
Dietary tryptophan is converted to 5-HTP, which in turn can convert to
serotonin and then to melatonin. People with diets low in tryptophan or who lack
darkness at night may have a functional deficit of serotonin and melatonin,
making melatonin supplementation useful.
Melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant that supports immune system
function and is an antagonist to cortisol, the stress hormone produced by the
adrenal glands. Cortisol is partly responsible for many of the classic symptoms
of chronic stress, including lack of sleep.
As we age, melatonin levels decline, so supplementation is sometimes
necessary to provide optimal levels of this important hormone. Scientists
believe this melatonin deficit is one reason why older adults have more trouble
sleeping than younger people.
Rather than using animal glandular tissues extracted from cow brains, NOW
uses a pure nature-identical form of melatonin that is suitable for
vegetarians/vegans.
