Description
Melatonin‚ which is a hormone secreted by your brain‚ aids the regulation of your natural sleep cycle. This cycle‚ known as the circadian rhythms‚ works like this: during the daytime‚ your body produces less melatonin than it does at night. However‚ your body isn’t aware if it’s actually nighttime if you’re surrounded by bright lights; in that case‚ it may not release enough melatonin‚ which may disrupt sleep patterns. The body needs darkness to signal that the production of melatonin should begin. If you have problems sleeping or jet lag‚ melatonin might be to blame.
In women‚ melatonin also plays a role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle. Melatonin regulates how often you get your period‚ and how long it lasts. Research has also discovered that melatonin has potent antioxidant properties‚ making it effective in the fight against free radical damage. Free radicals are molecules that change your healthy cells into potentially disease causing ones. Due to its protective antioxidant properties‚ melatonin may also be able to boost your immune system‚ increasing your level of protection from bacteria and illness.
If you have difficulty relaxing‚ you may want to consider taking a melatonin supplement. Kirkman’s Melatonin Chewable Tablets are a natural way to fall and stay asleep. They contain one milligram of melatonin as the only active ingredient‚ which may support immunity while regulating your sleep cycle.
At the recommended dosage of one tablet an hour before bed‚ each 100-tablet bottle of Melatonin by Kirkman should last for approximately three months.
Since 1949‚ Kirkman has been manufacturing a wide array of nutritional supplements. Its hypoallergenic product line is specially designed for those with allergies or food sensitivities. All Kirkman products are pure and easy to administer to people of all ages.
