How Much Melatonin Can You Take?

Because this hormone can make a melanin-producing cell light up, it takes its prefix Mela; at the same time, because it is derived from serotonin ( serotonin), so take the suffix tonin, therefore, this pineal hormone is named Melatonin (melatonin). Melatonin is a hormone that has been shown to play an important role in regulating the body’s natural wakefulness cycle (circadian rhythm). Melatonin levels increase as light levels decrease, and based on this, it plays an important role in regulating sleep quality in people with insomnia. All of the melatonin supplements we choose for you have been rigorously tested by a third-party testing agency in the United States, and these agencies have conducted rigorous testing on ingredient safety and purity. Foods contain very small amounts of melatonin. Melatonin contained in dietary supplements is usually synthesized or extracted from natural plants, but the chemical molecular structure is the same.
