Melatonin Plus Magnesium

Kirkman’s Melatonin Plus Magnesium capsules are hypoallergenic for people with special requirements and sensitivities. In addition to being a melatonin supplement, each capsule also incorporates 100 mg of magnesium for extra benefits. Magnesium can have a calming effect and may also relax nerve impulses and muscle contractions.

Melatonin is a hormone released in the human body by the pineal gland. It’s manufactured in that gland from serotonin. It’s believed that manufacturing and secreting melatonin is the sole purpose of the pineal gland.

Melatonin supplementation is employed primarily for:

• as a potent antioxidant
• helping to induce sleep
• minimizing the effects of jet-lag
• stimulating glutathione peroxidase formation
• stimulating phosphorylation of pyridoxine in the brain to help with the formation of pyridoxal 5-phosphate (P-5-P)

Several double-blind studies have demonstrated that melatonin supplementation is effective in promoting sleep when melatonin levels are low. If someone takes melatonin when levels are not reduced, then it has reportedly no effect. The reason for this is that the body generally secretes melatonin right before bedtime. Darkness induces melatonin secretion, while light restrains it. This process is operated by an internal body clock regulating hormonal secretions called “natural circadian rhythm.” Low melatonin levels are regarded as one of the most common cause of sleeplessness.

In jet lag, this natural body clock may not allow for secretion of melatonin at the appropriate time, thereby making melatonin supplementation useful.

As well as being a sleep aid, melatonin might also assist in the methylation process, which is crucial in the body’s absorption and use of vitamin B-6. For this reason, we now suggest that everybody who uses Super Nu-Thera® or Thera Response also try melatonin in the evening to ascertain if it supplies additional benefits.

For those people who are lacking in glutathione, melatonin is significant because it stimulates the production of glutathione peroxidase.
