Melatonin - 3 mg 120 tab

Natrol's Melatonin keeps the body in rythym with the day and the season. The body naturally releases Melatonin in response to changes in the light, with Melatonin levels rising at night. It is in this way that Melatonin helps promote sleep.* Melatonin was first identified forty years ago and is now recognized as one of life's most beneficial molecules. Humans secrete it naturally from the pineal gland (a pea-sized structure located at the center of the brain), in response to light hitting the eyes. Physiologists recognize Melatonin as the hormone that keeps us in sync with the rhythms of the day as well as the season. Through its effect on other hormones, it helps determine when people sleep, animals breed, birds migrate and even when dogs shed their coats. Melatonin is rapidly gaining recognition as one of the most effective anti-oxidants available. Interpreting the true greatness of this dietary supplement may take years, the most common way of taking Melatonin is simply before going to sleep - as many people who take it will tell you they get exactly what they expect!
