Melatonin 3 mg, 100 tabs

Melatonin is a natural substance secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. Recognized as a key element in regulating the body’s daily metabolic rates, melatonin is synchronized with our biological clock and dictates changes in our metabolic activity.

Irregularities in melatonin production can cause sleep problems, lethargy and mood disorders. With age, melatonin production can become sluggish. The total amount of melatonin decreases substantially and the day-night cycle becomes less pronounced. Such deficiencies cause sleeplessness, and the melatonin needs to be replenished for sleep to be optimally restored.
