Melatonin Sustained-Release Formula
Melatonin is the all-natural nightcap. Melatonin's role in maintaining normal sleep/wake cycles is well known. Supplemental melatonin is often needed to replace the body's declining production of this hormone that may occur with increasing age.
Melatonin-SR contains pure melatonin in a pharmaceutical sustained-release vegetarian capsule formulation that releases slowly over several hours to help maintain blood levels for a longer period of time.
Melatonin releases from the pineal gland, reaching its peak at night to help maintain tissues in a youthful state of health. Secretion of melatonin declines significantly with age, as the pineal gland becomes calcified.
Melatonin keeps our circadian cycle in tune as it communicates with the body’s cells. Not only does this time keeper work to maintain cell health, it appears to regulate a system of self-repair and regeneration. When this hard-working hormone is diminished, our biological functions are impaired.
Many people use melatonin to help improve sleep. Studies have found that melatonin increases the speed of falling asleep and adds to the quality of sleep in about 60% of people who use it.
Natural Sleep duplicates the body’s own secretion of melatonin which occurs naturally in youth. It contains pharmaceutical-grade melatonin, along with sleep-enhancing nutrient cofactors.
Melatonin may have many other uses and has been reported to make people feel better, strengthen the immune system, and reduce free radicals in the body. Current research is underway to determine it's effect as an anti-oxidant, immno-modulator in cancer, delayed sleep-phase disorders, and jet lag. Tests are still under way so there is much to still be learned about it and its effects on the human body travelers and people suffering from mild sleep disorders.
