Functions and health benefits of Melatonin:
Melatonin is a natural hormone secreted by the pineal gland located within the brain that regulates human
biological clock. Melatonin is known as 5-methoxy-Nacetyltryptamine. Melatonin's primary function is synchronizer
of the biological clock.
The pineal is a key element in the maintenance of the body's endocrine regulation (hormone balance), immune
system integrity, and circadian rhythm daily (daily metabolic balance). Melatonin is involved in synchronizing the
body's hormone secretions, settings the brain's internal clock and generating circadian rhythms. The pineal
gland serves as the timekeeper of the brain, helping to govern the sleep wake cycle and in animals, seasonal
rhythms of migration, mating an hibernation. Melatonin helps the body when it's time to sleep or when it's time
to wake up. Melatonin is stimulated by the dark, released at night or in the dark, inhibited by light and sort of
instructs the body that it is time to sleep. Melatonin is also known as "the hormone of darkness". During day
time, the blood level of melatonin is low and increases at night. Natural melatonin production in the brain is
highest between 2am and 4am. Melatonin declines as a person ages. A possible link with an age-related rise in
difficulty sleeping.
Melatonin can suppress libido by inhibiting secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle simulating hormone
(FSH) from the anterior pituitary gland. The melatonin pulse regulates many neuroendocrine functions. When
the timing or intensity of the melatonin peak is disrupted (as in aging, stress, jet lag, or artificial jet lag
syndromes) many physiological and mental functions are adversely affected. The ability to think clearly,
remember key facts, make sound decisions can be profoundly hampered by these upsets in the biological clock.
Melatonin is also one of the hormones that controls the timing and release of female reproductive hormones.
Melatonin helps determine when menstruation begins, the frequency and duration of menstrual cycles and
when menstruation ends (menopause). Melatonin affects a number of processes from sleep, temperature and
plays a role in the promotion of growth and maturity.
Melatonin is very popular as sleep remedy or sleep aid and as natural treatment for Insomnia. Melatonin has
other uses aside from improving sleep. Melatonin is a multi-functional hormone that is produced naturally by the
human body. Studies show that it can be used as an antioxidant, cancer protective agent, skin protective
agent, contraceptive and as a treatment for Seasonal affective depression.
Melatonin is a terrific choice if you experience occasional sleeplessness or jet lag, or if you want to improve your
quality of rest. Melatonin can be used as sleeping aid.
Melatonin as an Antioxidant: incidental benefits to health and well-being may accumulate, due to
melatonin' role as an antioxidant, it's stimulation of the immune system and important component of the
endocrine system. Melatonin along with vitamin E and vitamin C, is an antioxidant and prevents oxidative
damage. The free radicals normally responsible for more than half of all free radical damage in the body, causing
lipid peroxidation, DNA damage and protein oxidation. Melatonin as an antioxidant, it hunts down and eliminates
cell damaging free radicals helping to prevent or delay the development of heart disease, cancer and other
conditions. Melatonin is twice as effective as vitamin E protects cell membranes from lipid peroxidation and five
times more effective than glutathione for neutralizing hydroxyl radicals. Melatonin protects brain cells neutralizes
superoxide, singlet oxygen, hydogen peroxide and hypochlorous acid.
Melatonin does not undergo redox cycling the ability of a molecule to undergo reduction and oxidation
repeatedly. Melatonin's antioxidant activity may reduce damage caused by some types of Parkinson's disease,
may play a role in preventing cardiac arrhythmia and may increase longevity; it has been shown to increase the
average life span of mice by 20%.
Melatonin has the ability to enhance or augment the function of the immune system. It seems to be capable
of neutralizing the negative effects that stress, drugs and infections have on the function of the immune
system. Some studies suggest that melatonin might be useful fighting infectious disease, including viral and
bacterial infections.
Melatonin and the circadian clock: melatonin is an important regulator of the circadian clock in the brain,
which keeps the body on a regular cycle of day and night. Light whether from the sun or electric lights,
suppresses melatonin production. But when light disappears and darkness falls, nerve signals from the eye to
the pineal gland which then starts making melatonin. Reason why melatonin contributes to a sleep.
Melatonin and cancer protection: melatonin appears to slow cancer progression and improve survival in
advanced cancer patients, to protect healthy cells from the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
Women with breast cancer and men with prostate cancer have lower levels of melatonin compared to cancer
free individuals. Melatonin inhibits the growth of certain types of breast cancer cells. Experiments suggest that
melatonin may enhance the effectiveness of some chemotherapy drugs. Studies have shown that persons who
work at night are at higher risk of breast and colon cancer. Light at night might spur cancer growth due to
shut off melatonin production. Melatonin at night might protect against it. Melatonin can "put cancer cells to
sleep". Melatonin appears to slow down the spread of cancerous tumors. Many studies are being conducted.
Evidence is not conclusive.
Melatonin Skin Protection from Ultraviolet light: topical melatonin when combined with vitamins C and E
exhibits photo protective property. Melatonin can be used as a natural sunscreen.
Melatonin and Insomnia: Several studies suggest that melatonin taken by mouth before going to sleep
helps a person fall asleep faster. Melatonin helps relieve Insomnia. Melatonin contributes to the natural regulation
of sleep during night hours. Melatonin is a terrific choice if you experience occasional sleeplessness or jet lag, or
if you want to improve your quality of rest. Melatonin can be used as sleeping aid.
Melatonin and Depression and Seasonal affective disorder: some studies show that people which suffers
from major depression or panic disorder have low blood levels of melatonin. There are experimental studies
showing that melatonin increases serotonin levels which helps reduce the symptoms of depressive illness.
Jet Lag and Work Shifts: melatonin reduces the time it takes to establish normal sleep pattern and reduces
the time it takes to fall asleep and reduces daytime tiredness. Working at night shifts or staying up all night
upsets the biological clock of the body. This cause fatigue, dizziness, and disability to have clear thinking. Using
melatonin before bedtime helps restore the biological clock function and relieves those symptoms. Melatonin
helps fight jet lag and assist in maintaining normal sleep patterns. melatonin is potentially effective in prevention
and treatment of jet lag. Melatonin taken in the evening will rapidly reset the biological clock and almost totally
alleviate or prevent the symptoms of jet lag.
Melatonin and menopause: melatonin supplementation in perimenopausal women produces a highly
significant improvement in thyroid function and gonadotropin levels, restoring menstruation and preventing the
depression associated with the menopause. Melatonin supplementation may benefit menopausal women by
promoting and sustaining sleep.
Low levels of melatonin in humans have been associated with depression, fibromyalgia, insomnia, some seizure
disorders and others. Melatonin has been studied for the treatment of cancer, immune disorders, cardiovascular
diseases, depression, seasonal affective disorder, headaches/migraines, autism, ADHD, HIV, learning, memory
and Alzheimer's. Melatonin plays an important role in our overall well being.
Melatonin can be used for sleep disturbances, jet lag, for blind individuals who suffer from sleep disturbances
caused by interruptions in daily rhythm. Melatonin supplementation help induce sleep in people with disrupted
circadian rhythms and those with low melatonin levels.
Age Management Supplements melatonin supplement 3mg contains pure melatonin provided in a vegetarian
capsule made of plant cellulose for easy absorption.
Melatonin indications: It is not intended for use by individuals under 25 years of age. Pregnant or lactating
women should consult their physician before using Melatonin supplements. Driving or operating machinery
should be avoided after taking Melatonin supplement. Melatonin nutritional supplement should not be taken
during the day. The body secretes melatonin for several hours per night. This effect is typically best duplicated
with 1-3mg of melatonin taken one to two hours before bedtime. The amount needed is very individual and
some people may require less or more than this range to compensate for reduced body production of melatonin.
