Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland within the brain in response to changes in light
- Light exposure to the retina is relayed via the suprachiasmatic nucleus (in the hypothalamus) and inhibits melatonin secretion
- Melatonin is therefore secreted in response to periods of darkness, resulting in higher concentrations at night

Health Benefits:
Helps sleep better
Studies show that melatonin can increase total sleep time, shorten the time it takes to fall asleep, and improve sleep quality in children and adults. However, while melatonin has fewer side effects than other sleep medications, it may be less effective.
Reduce symptoms of seasonal depression
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also known as seasonal depression, is a common disorder and due to the role of melatonin in regulating circadian rhythms, low doses are often used to reduce the symptoms of seasonal depression.
Promote eye health
Melatonin is rich in antioxidants, which help prevent cell damage and keep eyes healthy.
Helps treat gastroesophageal reflux disease
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition caused by stomach acid backing up into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, and belching. Melatonin has been shown to block the secretion of stomach acid. It also reduces the production of nitric oxide, a compound that relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to pass into the esophagus.
