Capsule Presentation

Each Capsule Contains:
Melatonin 10 mg

Melatonin is a biogenic amine that is found in animals, plants and microbes. Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland. The secretion of melatonin increases in darkness and decreases during exposure to light, thereby regulating the circadian rhythms of several biological functions, including the sleep-wake cycle. In particular, melatonin regulates the sleep-wake cycle by chemically causing drowsiness and lowering the body temperature. Melatonin is also implicated in the regulation of mood, learning and memory, immune activity, dreaming, fertility and reproduction. Melatonin is also an effective antioxidant. Most of the actions of melatonin are mediated through the binding and activation of melatonin receptors.

Uses

• Insomnia
• Treating seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
• Reducing chronic cluster headaches
• It's a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger that helps combat inflammation
• Melatonin can make the skin white and can regulate endocrine; eliminate dark spots, pigmentation age spots, melasma, pregnancy spots and pigmentaion caused by sun radiation

Mechanism of action

Melatonin is a hormone normally produced in the pineal gland and released into the blood. The essential amino acid L-tryptophan is a precursor in the synthesis of melatonin. It helps regulate sleep-wake cycles or the circadian rhythm. Production of melatonin is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light. High levels of melatonin induce sleep and so consumption of the drug can be used to combat insomnia and jet lag. MT1 and MT2 receptors may be a target for the treatment of circadian and non-circadian sleep disorders because of their differences in pharmacology and function within the SCN. SCN is responsible for maintaining the 24 hour cycle which regulates many different body functions ranging from sleep to immune functions
