Best Body Melatonin contains the natural hormone melatonin.
Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the body, which is released in darkness and significantly influences the process of falling asleep. In interaction with cortisol, it regulates the day/night rhythm. In contrast to melatonin, cortisol is responsible for stimulating bodily functions shortly before waking. These two hormones can therefore directly influence the body’s regeneration.
Melatonin – a natural hormone for regulating the day/night rhythm
Melatonin is primarily secreted in the pineal gland in the diencephalon during darkness. Small amounts are also produced in the retina and in the gut. The intensity of light perceived through the eyes regulates the body’s own melatonin production and thus determines the day/night rhythm. In short: as dusk sets in, the production of melatonin increases, allowing body and mind to relax. As a result, you become calmer and eventually drift into a restful sleep.
Reduced melatonin production – a modern-day issue
Demanding daily conditions such as stress, late evening meals or exposure to the blue light emitted by digital devices can promote the production of the stress hormone cortisol. As a counterpart to melatonin, cortisol puts the body on alert. Possible consequences may include restlessness and sleep disturbances. Another phenomenon that can negatively affect the sleep rhythm is so-called jet lag. This can occur when travelling across several time zones and may disrupt the internal body clock. At this point, the Melatonin Tabs from Best Body Nutrition can help to alleviate unwanted jet lag symptoms. *
* Melatonin contributes to the alleviation of the subjective feeling of jet lag when at least 0,5 mg of melatonin is taken on the first day of travel and on the first few days after arrival at the destination.
