What is Melatonin?
Melatonin is a natural substance
secreted by the pineal gland. Melatonin is recognized as a key element in
regulating the body's day/night metabolic rates. Its secretion is
synchronized with our biological clock which dictates the daily changes upon the
body's metabolic activity: our circadian rhythms. Its most popular
use is to help alleviate jet lag: "Melatonin can alleviate jet lag and
tiredness after long haul flights (1)".

Effect of Melatonin on jet lag after long haul flights. Brit.
Med. J. 298, 705-7 (1989).

Melatonin as an
Antioxidant
Melatonin
is also an excellent antioxidant: a potent, free-radical scavenger. It
also reduces blood platelet aggregation and thus provides an aspirin type of
protective effect on the coronaries, improving blood pressure and reducing the
negative effects of hypertension. Another crucial role of Melatonin is
in its maintenance of the immune system. It may have potential benefit for
Alzheimer's disease as well.
