Jarrow Mellow Tonin (Melatonin)

Mellow Tonin (Melatonin), 3 mg 120 caps. Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland that aids biorhythm regulation. Vitamin B6 aids melatonin metabolism. Production of melatonin by the pineal gland is inhibited by light and permitted by darkness. Melatonin levels in the blood peaks in the middle of the night, and gradually falls during the second half of the night, with normal variations in timing according to an individual's chronotype.

What does Mellow Tonin do? Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland that aids biorhythm regulation.* Biorhythm is disturbed by stress, crossing time zones and changing work shifts.* Melatonin production also declines with age.* Vitamin B6 aids melatonin metabolism.*

Until recent history, humans in temperate climates were exposed to only about six hours of daylight in the winter. In the modern world, artificial lighting reduces darkness exposure to typically eight or fewer hours per day all year round. Even low light levels inhibit melatonin production to some extent, but over-illumination can create significant reduction in melatonin production. Melatonin promotes sleepiness.

Melatonin levels at night are reduced to 50% by exposure to a low-level incandescent bulb for only 39 minutes, and it has been shown that women with the brightest bathrooms have an increased risk for breast cancer.

Reduced melatonin production has been proposed as a likely factor in the significantly higher cancer rates in night workers, and the effect of modern lighting practice on endogenous melatonin has been proposed as a contributory factor to the larger overall incidence of some cancers in the developed world.

Besides its primary function as synchronizer of the biological clock, melatonin may exert a powerful antioxidant activity.

In animal models, melatonin has been demonstrated to prevent the damage to DNA by some carcinogens, stopping the mechanism by which they cause cancer. Melatonin's antioxidant activity may reduce damage caused by some types of Parkinson's disease, may play a role in preventing cardiac arrhythmia and may increase longevity; it has been shown to increase the average life span of mice by 20% in some studies.
