Melatonin
WHAT IS MELATONIN?
Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain that helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm). It signals to your body when it’s time to wind down and sleep by promoting relaxation and lowering body temperature.
What affects melatonin production?
Melatonin production is influenced by light exposure, with blue light suppressing it and darkness triggering its release. As we age, levels decline, often leading to sleep disturbances. Disruptions like shift work, jet lag, and stress can also interfere with its regulation. Diet plays a role, as nutrients like tryptophan and vitamin B6 support melatonin, while caffeine and alcohol inhibit it. Certain medications and health conditions may further impact natural production, affecting sleep quality.

"Melatonin is a key hormone that helps regulate the body’s sleep-wake cycle, signaling when it’s time to wind down. While the body naturally produces melatonin, factors like screen exposure, stress, and irregular sleep schedules can disrupt its balance. Supplementing with melatonin, especially alongside supportive nutrients like Vitamin B6 and passion flower extract, can help reinforce a healthy sleep rhythm and improve overall sleep quality."

FAQs about Melatonin
To naturally support melatonin production, try limiting screen time before bed, as blue light can interfere with the body’s ability to wind down. Sticking to a consistent sleep schedule helps regulate your internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up feeling refreshed. Creating a dark, calming sleep environment signals to your body that it's time to rest. Additionally, incorporating melatonin-boosting foods like nuts, cherries, and bananas into your diet, along with relaxation techniques such as meditation or deep breathing, can further enhance your body's ability to produce melatonin naturally.
