There are some now saying that melatonin can be related to anti-aging. I could see it in some ways. After all, if you get more sleep, you are less likely to b e under greater stress and less likely to suffer other problems that generally contribute to greater aging in general. It has to be used for an extended period of time for supposed results, not just in massive doses for a week. It is naturally produced in the pineal gland hormone of the brain and secreted through the pineal gland in the brain in general. It passes easily through the blood brain barrier and affects the body in general. It is used from outside sources to actually promote greater sleep in general. And frankly in terms of sleep, it works without question and generally takes less than 20 minutes to feel it on an empty stomach. It is secreted at night and damaged by light. When the body temperature increases it is secreted in the gastrointestinal tract as well. It controls circadian rhythms and affects the sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and growth hormones. It improves skin health, appearance, intelligence, and everything else that a good night’s sleep can do for you including improving mood at large. If you maintain a low calorie diet along with this and an exercise program, you can further improve your results.
