As a supplement, it is useful for regulating sleep and the body’s daily rhythmic cycle, making it ideal for jet lag. Melatonin is also an important antioxidant that acts as an effective scavenger of free radicals. Various factors may cause melatonin levels to become low, such as inadequate dietary intake of its precursor tryptophan, low levels of serotonin, normal aging, insufficient exposure to natural light, and certain medications. Melatonin may support a healthy immune and stress response.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.designsforhealth.com\/u\/dralex\/\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/2273\/files\/DesignsforHealthVirtualDispensary_2_-min_480x480.png?v=1675454200\" alt=\"Designs for Health\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shop.dralexrinehart.com\/pages\/a-to-z-product-list\"\u003e(\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca aria-describedby=\"a11y-new-window-message\" href=\"https:\/\/www.designsforhealth.com\/u\/dralex\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick to browse all DFH products)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Melatonin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegulates sleep and the body’s day\/ night rhythmic cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegulates body’s response from lack of natural light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps alleviate jet lag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay help stimulate the immune response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports a healthy level of stress hormones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports healthy antioxidant functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eMelatonin is a hormone that is released from the pineal gland, a pea-sized endocrine gland located in the brain. Specific nutrients and other biochemical substances are required for the body to create melatonin, such as the amino acid tryptophan and the hormone serotonin, along with vitamin B6, folate, SAMe and iron. However, many people do not make enough melatonin, and therefore benefit from additional supplementation. Our product offers 3 mg of quality melatonin in each tablet, along with 10 mg of vitamin B6, one of its most important cofactors.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eOne of melatonin’s principal functions is to help regulate sleep by controlling our day and night biological rhythms, known as the ‘circadian rhythm’ or our 24-hour biological clock. Melatonin regulates the body’s sleep response when exposed to natural light. Our bodies release more melatonin in darkness to prepare for sleep, and less melatonin in daylight. Melatonin also supports healthy immune and stress responses and is an important antioxidant, which acts as an effective scavenger of free radicals.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFactors that may reduce the production of melatonin include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNormal aging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor sleeping habits, such as going to bed too late or sleeping during the day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInadequate darkness for the duration of the night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsufficient exposure to natural light during daytime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive mental stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh caffeine or alcohol consumption too close to bedtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiet low in nutrients needed to create melatonin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInability to properly use the nutrients needed to create melatonin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eTo help your body produce melatonin, make your bedroom as dark as possible, as light destroys the flow of melatonin.
