• Melatonin increases the speed of falling asleep and adds to the quality of sleep. It also has a strong antioxidant property and is important for protecting cellular DNA. Melatonin is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan.
• In humans, melatonin is primarily synthesized in the pineal gland and is released mostly at night to make falling asleep easier and improve the quality of sleep.
• In addition to sleep, melatonin has a strong antioxidant property and has been shown to support many other aspects of health such as immune and brain function.
• Melatonin also has strong antioxidant properties. It directly scavenges both hydroxyl and peroxyl free radicals, and it does so more effectively than most other antioxidants. It also greatly potentiates the efficiency of other endogenous and exogenous antioxidants.
• Melatonin is especially important for protecting cellular DNA against peroxynitrite damage by inhibiting peroxynitrite free radical reactions. And melatonin has been found to be superior to glutathione-3 as well as vitamins C and E in reducing oxidative damage.
• Melatonin has a beneficial impact on the immune system—it activates T-helper cells to trigger other immune cells in order to boost immune response to foreign molecules. The cognitive decline that occurs as we age may be directly related to the drop in melatonin.
• Melatonin supplementation can help support the brain's antioxidant defenses and potentially inhibit the factors that can lead to cognitive decline. Don't let your health decline—support optimal sleep and well-being by being proactive and stocking up on melatonin today!

The health benefits of melatonin

Melatonin helps keep your circadian rhythms in tune, supporting healthy sleep/wake patterns and the onset, duration and quality of sleep. Melatonin also offers powerful support for cellular DNA and mitochondrial health by inhibiting oxidative stress caused by free radicals, doing so more effectively than many other nutrients. And, melatonin benefits your immune system. 

Melatonin supplementation may help support cognitive function. In fact, age-related cognitive decline may be directly correlated to melatonin levels. 

Multi-nutrient support for healthy sleep & beyond

Magnesium is an essential mineral that helps maintain normal circadian rhythms.Magnesium also helps your muscles relax, which might encourage restful sleep.In a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial, individuals supplemented with magnesium improved in multiple measures of sleep quality and quantity. 

Plus, magnesium supports neurotransmitter signaling.And preclinical evidence suggests that it can interact with calming GABA receptors in the brain to help relax your nervous system.That’s why this formula contains 120 mg of magnesium. 

Inositol is a kind of vitamin B that the body makes from glucose, or blood sugar. Inositol is an important mediator in signal transmission that helps support positive mood.  

Vitamin C, vitamin B and calcium have a variety of whole-body health benefits. Vitamin C supports immune health and, like melatonin, is a powerful inhibitor of oxidative stress.  

The vitamin B family (including B6 and B12 in this formula) promotes healthy brain and metabolic functions.And all of these nutrients share a common benefit: They help support healthy sleep.  

For occasional sleeplessness.
