ABOUT
MELLOTONIN
 Melatonin
is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland in
the brain. This hormone is the sleep "trigger" regulating
the natural sleep cycle. As the body ages less of this hormone is
produced by the pineal gland. A typical one-year old child will
sleep many more hours of restful sleep than a typical seventy-year
old adult. Reproducing the sleeping patterns associated with the
young can be accomplished by supplementing small amounts of melatonin
before you wish to sleep. The natural restful sleep is often accompanied
by vivid dreams.. Another benefit of quality restful sleep is more
energy during waking hours and improved mood. Scientists believe
Melatonin is a benefit in other areas such as:
• Antioxidant--as
a protector from free radical damage this hormone battles cancers.
• Life Extender--Increased Melatonin has
significantly increased the life span in test animals.
• Natural--Melatonin is produced by the
body as an effective agent to regulate and enhance many of the
systems associated with youth. Reproducing these benefits with
all natural Melatonin is most certainly a very important step
in medical science.
