Melatonin SRT™

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, a peasized endocrine gland located in the brain. One of melatonin’s primary functions is to help regulate sleep by controlling the body’s natural sleepwake cycle, known as the circadian rhythm or 24hour biological clock. Melatonin regulates the body’s sleep response when exposed to natural light. The brain releases more melatonin toward the end of the day to prepare for sleep and decreases in the early morning as the sun rises. Melatonin also supports a healthy immune response and antioxidant status in the body.*

Designs for Health offers melatonin in 3 mg capsules and 6 mg sustainedrelease tablets to support quality sleep, especially for individuals who have difficulty sleeping through the night.*

Factors that may reduce the natural production of melatonin include the normal aging process, poor sleeping habits, insufficient exposure to sunlight during the day, exposure to blue lights close to bedtime, excessive mental stress, high caffeine or alcohol intake near bedtime, certain medications, and inadequate intake of the nutrient cofactors required to produce melatonin. The nutrients and compounds that are required for the body to produce healthy amounts of melatonin include the amino acid tryptophan, vitamin B6, folate, SadenosylLmethionine (SAMe), and iron.*
