Melatonin releases from the pineal gland, reaching
its peak at night to help maintain healthy cell division in tissues throughout
the body. Secretion of melatonin declines signif-icantly with age, as the pineal
gland becomes calcified. Jet lag, shift work, and poor vision can disrupt
melatonin cycles. Take one capsule 30-60 minutes before bedtime, or
as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug

What is it?
Melatonin keeps our circadian cycle in tune as it communicates with the body’s
cells. Not only does this hormone work to maintain cell health, it appears to
regulate a system of self-repair and regeneration. As this hardworking hormone
diminishes with age, our biological functions are impaired. In addition to its
hormone actions, melatonin also has strong antioxidant properties. Melatonin
directly scavenges both hydroxyl and peroxyl free radicals, and it does so more
effectively than most other antioxidants and it also greatly potentiates the
efficiency of other endogenous and exogenous antioxidants. Melatonin is
especially important for the inhibition of peroxynitrite free radical reactions
the protection of cellular DNA against peroxynitrite damage. Many people use
melatonin to help improve sleep. Some research has found that melatonin
increases the speed of falling asleep and adds to the quality of sleep in about
60% of people who use it.*
