Melatonin
Melatonin is the hormone of the circadian rhythm. It promotes a natural and
deep sleep, thus it soothes tensions and relaxes the muscles. It is
useful to anyone suffering from insomnia. Melatonin has no side effects or
addiction, such as conventional hypnotics.
Melatonin is produced during the night by the pineal gland located behind
the brain. Its peak of secretion is between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning.
Melatonin production peaks at adolescence and decreases to 90% at age 70.
Melatonin also neutralizes free radicals and limits the appearance of brown skin spots caused by aging. For best results in
this filed, it is recomanded
to combine the application of melatonin cream with
absorption of oral melatonin.
Melatonin is an extremely powerful and versatile antioxidant, which
protects every part of the cell and each cell of the body, including
neurons. Melatonin is an antioxidant soluble both in water and in fat. Over
100 degenerative diseases (including cataract, macular degeneration of retina, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, arthroses,
etc...) are associated with reduced antioxidant defenses of the body.
Oxidation is also a major factor in the aging process itself!
