Melaton-5 60 Capsules – Thorne

Description

Melatonin is the chief hormone secreted by the pineal gland‚ and it takes on the crucial role of a powerful chronobiotic; a chronobiotic is a substance that provides assistance in maintaining regular circadian rhythms. For people suffering from insomnia or otherwise altered circadian rhythms—which may be the result of jet lag or adjusting to a night-shift work schedule—supplementation with melatonin can facilitate the resynchronization of these cycles. The aging process may decrease the production of melatonin. Maintaining sufficient melatonin levels has been cited as a valuable aspect in the health of your cardiovascular‚ neuroendocrine‚ and bone structures.*

The timing of melatonin supplementation appears to be an important factor, with the most effective protocol being a diurnal cycle similar to the physiological rhythm of melatonin secretion, which is generally to take it once in the evening before going to bed.*
