- High Grade Melatonin - Good anti-oxidant properties - Reset body time clock due to jet lag or irregular sleeping pattern - Help to promote better rest - Added with Vit B6 to enhance metabolism Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by the pineal gland, a pea sized structure embedded within the brain. Melatonin production peaks at night during deep sleep and falls during the day. In short, melatonin governs the sleep/wake cycles. It is useful as a sleep aid for insomnia and jet lag. It was found that the body's Melatonin secretion decreases steady with age. Such that our ability to get into deep sleep decrease. Melatonin is also a potent anti-oxidant, free radical scavenger and boost immune function. All these correlate with why being able to get into deep, revitalising sleep is such an important part of good health. Usage: Take one capsule 30 minutes prior to bedtime, or as directed by your qualified health consultant. Warning: Do not drive or operate machinery immediately following use of this product. Do not use if you are pregnant, lactating, under the age of 18, or have been diagnosed with MS, lymphoma, leukemia, diabetes, epilepsy, autoimmune disease, or use MAO inhibitors (such as iproniazid). Do NOT use if asthmatic. Melatonin may provoke an asthma attack in persons that already have asthma. Scientific References 1. J Pineal Res. 2005 Sep;39(2):129-36.
