Melatonin, A good nights sleep?
Sick of counting sheep without results? Well melatonin not to be confused with melanin the compound responsible for skin pigmentation), may turn out to be the supplement of your dreams. This is a natural hormone that is produced by the pineal gland in your brain. The pineal is a dual-purpose gland which produces serotonin during the day and melatonin at night. Serotonin is a chemical that relays messages between nerve cells in the brain and the other is that chemical which triggers sleep. Many health supplements are faddish if not effective but this particular product is both. Newsweek published a cover story on this substance back in 1995 that made it an immediate success. The article discussed a number of potential benefits in making this product a part of one’s daily regiment. Among those benefits names were: · Depression · Insomnia · Jet lag · Stress · Promotes healthy cholesterol levels · Fight cancer · Prevent heart disease · Boost the immune system · Antioxidant properties
Melatonin is a sleep inducing supplement that is both inexpensive and nonaddicting. As our day comes to an end, and darkness is upon us, this chemical is what gives us the signal to taper down and sleep. There is also indications that this supplement can be a very effective regulatory clock for almost any form of sleep deprivation or broken sleep pattern.
I could name a dozen uses that this supplement could be used to treat but the primary thing to remember is that it will aid in the treatment of almost any condition involving a lack of sleep, i.e., jet lag. Some more recent studies suggest that fibromyalgia, heart disease and cancer patients are benefiting from the use of this product.
