Melatonin 3mg Sustained Release

Melatonin is a hormone designed to regulate our
circadian rhythm, the cycle that dictates when we
should be awake and when we should be asleep.
Although melatonin is naturally produced in the
pineal gland and found in certain foods such as
cherries and walnuts, it is most commonly known as
a natural health product for improving sleep.
Supplemental melatonin has been demonstrated to
improve sleep parameters under many
circumstances. Notably, clinical trials have found

that melatonin can improve total sleep time and
restfulness in individuals with general sleeplessness.
For shift workers or people that commonly travel
across time zones, melatonin can greatly improve
the transition between day and night shifts or speed
up jet lag recovery.

It may surprise many people to learn that melatonin
actually has vast health applications in the realm of
digestion. For example, research has found that
melatonin protects the esophageal lining from acid
reflux by increasing local mucous production. This is
important because acid reflux into the esophagus
can create the burning sensation and cause damage
to the tissue. Not only can melatonin reduce
heartburn symptoms but clinical trials have also
shown that it can improve gastritis and symptoms of
irritable bowel syndrome such as pain, abdominal
distension and urgency.

Finally, various clinical trials have shown that
melatonin can reduce symptoms of itchiness and
discomfort in eczema sufferers, reduce migraine
frequency, improve tinnitus and decrease
endometriosis related pain. Clearly, there is more to
melatonin than a good night’s rest.
