Melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine) is a hormone produced in all living creatures to assist in regulating circadian rhythms, or the natural cycle of sleep and wakefulness our bodies experience daily.
Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland (found within the brain), as well as in the retina, lens, and gastrointestinal tract. Naturally synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan, melatonin is responsible for healthy and effective sleep patterns.
The primary function of Melatonin is to regulate our internal clock, providing for a healthy sleep cycle. Besides this common use, there is also evidence that melatonin exerts a powerful antioxidant activity within the body.
Daily doses should not exceed 3 mg per day. Exceeding the recommended dosage can produce side-effects, which may include: hormonal fluctuations, irritability, increased sleep disturbances including vivid nightmares, and reduced blood flow. Orovo recommends that you consult a physician before you begin taking any new health supplement blend.
