Application & Function

Melatonin is a hormone naturally secreted by the human body, primarily responsible for regulating sleep and wakefulness cycles. It can increase the levels of two important neurotransmitters in the brain - aminobutyric acid and serotonin. The effects of melatonin usually include improving sleep quality, regulating immune function, regulating cardiovascular function, delaying aging, and preventing eye diseases.

1. Improve sleep quality

Melatonin is a very important substance in maintaining normal physiological rhythms, especially in maintaining sleep cycles. It can shorten the time for waking up and falling asleep before bedtime, improve sleep quality, reduce the number of awakenings during sleep, shorten the light sleep stage, and prolong the deep sleep stage. Melatonin has a good regulatory effect on insomnia caused by irregular daily routines and disrupted biological clocks.

2. Regulating the biological clock

Melatonin helps regulate the body's biological clock, synchronizing the body with the alternation of day and night, making it particularly suitable for people who need to adjust for time differences.

3. Regulating immune function

Melatonin also has the function of regulating immune function. If one's own immune system is poor, moderate intake of melatonin is recommended.

4. Regulating cardiovascular function

Melatonin also has a certain regulatory effect on cardiovascular function, which is beneficial for the human body.

5. Delaying aging

Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that can eliminate free radicals in the body, inhibit lipid peroxidation, protect cell structure, prevent DNA damage, and thus delay the aging process.

6. Prevention and treatment of eye diseases

Melatonin also has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of eye diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, etc.

7. Protecting the nervous system

Melatonin has a certain protective effect on neurodegenerative diseases, can improve vascular function, protect the heart, and has a certain effect on the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

8. Fighting against tumors

Antitumor is one of the important functions of melatonin, which can protect DNA from damage and inhibit cellular carcinogenesis. Secondly, it also has a certain adjuvant therapeutic effect on tumors.
