Melatonin is a natural hormone made by your body's pineal gland. This is a pea-sized gland located just above the middle of the brain. Children on average secrete more melatonin than adults, which decreases further with age.
At night melatonin is produced to help our bodies regulate our sleepwake cycles. It is naturally released during the evenings by the pineal gland and helps us to relax and feel less alert. Melatonin levels start to decrease closer to daytime so that our bodies can get ready for daily activities.
Benefits of Melatonin:
• Helps treat insomnia and other sleep disorders
