Description

Melatonin is a hormone made by the pineal gland in the middle of the brain. Melatonin plays a key role in maintaining the sleep cycle.

The production of Melatonin first involves Tryptophan being synthesized during digestion from various proteins. When it is light outside, this is converted to Serotonin, and when it is night outside, it is converted to Melatonin. Melatonin may help aid and maintain healthy sleep in already healthy individuals. Melatonin may also help support healthy mood, immune function, and sexual health.
