Research continues to uncover melatonin’s many health giving benefits, Melatonin has been described as a pervasive and powerful antioxidant due to its ability to easily cross cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier, it may also improve immune function and ward-off depression.
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain. Levels of melatonin in the blood vary naturally throughout the day being suppressed by light and being stimulated by darkness. Melatonin plays an integral role in regulating the circadian rhythms (biochemical, physiological and behavioral processes based on a 24 hour cycle.
Studies show that melatonin has the ability to prevent damage to DNA caused by some carcinogens as well as protect against immune disorders, and cardiovascular diseases.
Melatonin is most widely known for its sleep promoting properties and combating sleep disorders. 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, 3mg of melatonin would be better utilized in the body as opposed to a 20mg dosage. It is used by some to assist in recovering from Jet-lag.
