What Is Melatonin? How Does It Work?

So, what is melatonin, and how is it natural? Is it derived from an herb or mineral? 

Nope —  it’s actually a hormone! Melatonin is your body’s natural sleep signal; it’s produced by the pineal gland in your brain and is stimulated by the perception of daylight. When the sun is shining, the pineal gland inhibits melatonin synthesis and release. At night or in the dark, the body’s melatonin production rises.

• 
  Regulates Sleep/Wake Cycles: Melatonin production increases at night when it’s dark, signaling to your body that it’s time to sleep. During the day, exposure to daylight inhibits melatonin release, keeping you alert and energized.*
  


• 
  Supports Immune Health: By maintaining the activity of natural killer cells, melatonin promotes normal immune function and helps protect your body against stress-induced immune suppression.*
  


• 
  Provides Antioxidant Protection: As a potent antioxidant, melatonin protects cells from free radical damage and supports overall brain health. It even crosses the blood-brain barrier to offer vital protection for your brain cells.*
  


• 
  Declines with Age: Melatonin levels are highest in childhood and gradually decrease over time, which is why adults — especially those over 30 — may benefit from supplementation.*
