Catch Your Zzzzs with Melatonin

ARE YOU GOING MAD because of your sleepless nights? Do you have dark circles around your eyes, bad skin - and worse – have you become more prone to sickness?

Then, your body may be missing out on your melatonin.

The “Sleep Messenger”

Melatonin is your body’s “sleep messenger.” This hormone, secreted by your brain’s pineal gland, maintains your body’s circadian cycle - the day-night cycle that synchronizes our hormone production, hunger, moods, body temperature, energy level, and of course, our sleep-wake pattern. It is a 24-hour cycle, similar to our 24-hour day, and changes as we age.

As you get older, your body produces lower amounts of melatonin, which makes having a long, good and restful sleep more difficult. Most frequent old-age sleep disorder results when people start producing melatonin too early in the evening, and then stop producing too early in the morning.

The Natural Way

Your body naturally produces a lot of melatonin as a child and as you get older the production of this melatonin decreases steadily. This explains why adults experience disrupted sleep patterns and tend to sleep less hours.

Most people think that sleep problems are just part of the natural aging process, this is true, but if you want to feel good, sleep better, wake up rested and live healthier, then you might consider addressing your health - the natural way.

Sleeping well with Melatonin

Since life without a good night’s sleep is deprived living, most people resort to taking sleep-inducing drugs, unfortunately, all the effective sleeping pills are addictive, chemical and disrupt normal sleep cycles, making the problem even worse.

Supplementing your diet with Melatonin, on the other hand, reinforces normal patterns of sleep rather than disrupts it. Taken nightly, melatonin can help your body prepare itself to reach its desired state for sleeping - giving you a solid night’s sleep and making you wake up feeling rejuvenated.

Melatonin’s Many Benefits

With a good night’s sleep, you wake up feeling refreshed and revitalized. Because sleep is a very important factor in your life, good sleep makes you more alert, helps improve your focus and memory, alleviates your mood, makes you look younger and more importantly, boosts your immune system.

Another great thing about Melatonin is that it is a strong anti-oxidant, a vital enhancer of the immune system, and an amazing cancer preventer.

Melatonin, as a dietary supplement is safe to take everyday but bear in mind it causes drowsiness. At Health Express, melatonin is available in 2, 3 and 5 milligrams - just enough for you to not only attain a good night’s sleep, but also to maintain a healthier and youthful you.
