Now Melatonin 3 mg
This chemical compound plays an important role in the functions of the human body. It is produced in the epiphysis of the brain and is gradually released into the blood. It is a hormone that regulates the production of other hormones and coordinates the circadian (daily) rhythm of the body, ie the sleep / wakeful alternations. This rhythm is essentially our biological 24-hour clock.
It is called "dark" hormone because its synthesis and release are stimulated by darkness. Therefore, exposure to bright light at night or a little during the day detunes the regulation of melatonin production, which results in fatigue and abnormal functioning of the body.
The most typical example is the inability to adjust to previous sleep / wake rhythms after a transatlantic voyage. It has been calculated that for every hour of time difference, it takes one day for the body to return to its normal state.
Melatonin also plays a role in the vitality and frequency of dreams. Higher levels of melatonin in the blood occur before the nighttime sleep phase, which results in an increase in melatonin during the night and a decrease in the day.
NOW Melatonin 3 mg can help with insomnia and various sleep disorders, such as transatlantic travel (jet lag effect).
