It is produced by the pineal gland (near the brain). It is a neurotransmitter hormone that regulates circadian rhythms – or, your patterns of sleep. Research has shown that the cells of the body rejuvenate and repair during the deeper stages of sleep.
Deeper stages of IV sleep help produce natural “CD4″ killer cells – which are important to a strong immune function. Deep sleep also helps energize the body and improve mood. Melatonin has powerful antioxidant effects – which also helps disease prevention.
Melatonin deficiency is linked to poor sleep, jet lag, irritability, hypersensitivity and premature aging. Studies also link it to inhibiting breast cancer cell proliferation.
