Melatonin, naturally released by the pineal gland with peak levels occurring at night, plays a central role in the body's sleep-wake cycle, known as the circadian rhythm. It also plays a role in maintaining healthy cells throughout the body.*
As people age, melatonin secretion naturally decreases. Travel across time zones and shift work can also disrupt normal melatonin cycles. To support these natural functions, consider Life Extension's Melatonin 10 mg.* Melatonin also has antioxidant properties and supports the activity of other antioxidants in the body.* Studies show that supplementing with melatonin can help support falling asleep and restful sleep for many people.*
