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.37,38
Melatonin keeps our circadian cycle in tune as it communicates with the body’s cells.39,40 Not only does this hormone work to maintain cell health, it appears to regulate a system of self-repair and regeneration.41,42 When this hard-working hormone is diminished, our biological functions are impaired.43,44
Many people use melatonin to help improve sleep. Some research has found that melatonin increases the speed of falling asleep and adds to the quality of sleep in about 60% of people who use it.45-47
This melatonin formulation is for those who need the fastest possible sleep-inducing action. By dissolving in the mouth, melatonin goes directly to the brain and bypasses the liver where much of orally ingested melatonin can be metabolized (in some people) before it reaches the brain. If you have a problem in getting to sleep and staying asleep, take melatonin lozenges 15 minutes before bedtime to induce drowsiness.
