Do you have sleeping problem? Did you know that your sleeping problem can be treated by  melatonin? Yes, if you’re afraid to take sleeping pills and other medication,  the answer to sleep problems, aging and many more questions may be found in this wonderful hormone called melatonin.

What is Melatonin? Melatonin is a natural hormone found in all living creature, from the plant to animal kingdoms. A naturally occurring hormone that is both endocrine (enters the bloodstream from a pineal gland) and paracrine (signaling cell phenomenon, as from the retina when light is low, when the signal is “time to sleep”).

Is it safe to take? Actually, the 3mg standard dose has virtually no side effects, and does not also affect the body’s ability to produce its own melatonin. There are no toxic dangers at all, but it will cause drowsiness, so one must not take it prior to driving or operating mechanical equipment.  It may also react with some medications, so if you are taking any monoamine oxidize inhibitors (MAOIs), you must consult your doctor before taking melatonin

Melatonin, besides being a sleep hormone, is a very powerful antioxidant, anti-aging agent, immunoregulator, anti-depressant and sexual dysfunction regulator.
