Swanson Melatonin
Swanson melatonin is a dietary supplement in which melatonin - a body-own compound - is responsible for the regulation of natural biological clocks. The preparation stabilizes the daily rhythm of sleep and alertness and prevents sleep disorders. Especially recommended for seniors and people working in shifts or frequently changing the time zone. It helps to solve the problem of insomnia, limits the rate of wakefulness at night and intensifies the regeneration processes that occur during sleep.
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine) is an endogenous hormone that is released by the pineal gland under the action of light. Its synthesis requires the presence of tryptophan, which conceals serotonin under the influence of hydroxylation and decarboxylation and becomes melatonin in further transformations.
The melatonin level is not constant - it changes throughout the day and life. The highest melatonin concentration occurs at night, lower during the day. With increasing age, production decreases so that older people often struggle with sleep disorders.
Antioxidant potential and brain protection
Melatonin is an active antioxidant, ie compounds that can neutralize free radicals. It masks hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide from the body. The strength of its activity is comparable to that of the most well-known antioxidants, ie vitamins C and E.
