Life Extension Melatonin 10mg 60 Capsules


Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, which decreases with age. Small doses of this hormone can be obtained through foods like meats, grains, and vegetables. Our body has an internal clock thats controlled in large part by melatonin, which produces higher amounts as the day turns to night, and is at its highest during sleep.
Life Extension Melatonin is a product that promotes better sleep, by ensuring optimal levels of melatonin are in the body during this time. This hormone helps improve sleep in 60% of people. Melatonin benefits also include improving immune function, slowing the aging process, reducing headaches, and preventing various forms of cancer.
