Voonka Melatonin 3 mg 60 Capsules
Melatonin is an important neurohormone found in humans and many other living organisms. It was isolated from the pineal gland of cattle in 1958.
In humans, melatonin can be synthesized in the pineal gland, as well as in the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal system, adrenal gland, heart, genital glands, uterus, platelets, leukocytes, natural killer cells, and other immune system cells.
While 80 of the melatonin circulating in the human body is synthesized in the pineal gland, the amount of melatonin synthesized in other organs is very low, so it does not contribute significantly to blood circulation.
One of the most important factors in regulating human sleep is exposure to light and darkness.
Because melatonin, the hormone that initiates the initial phase of sleep and improves sleep quality, plays an active role in regulating the biological clock and circadian rhythm (such as the sleep-wake cycle, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, hormone release, metabolic activities, personal performance, and mood changes), begins to be synthesized in the dark and its synthesis comes to a halt with the arrival of light.
Melatonin synthesis begins with darkness.
Melatonin, which begins to increase between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM, reaches its peak between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM, increasing its blood levels by 3-10 times.
Melatonin synthesis begins to decrease between 5:00 AM and 7:00 AM in the morning, dropping to basal levels after 7:00 AM.
Melatonin synthesis varies with age.
It reaches its highest level, especially in children, between the ages of 3 and 5, and increases to adult levels in adolescence, remaining at these levels for up to 35-40 years.
However, with aging, due to a decrease in the pineal gland's rhythm and other factors, a decrease in melatonin synthesis and release begins to occur.
