Slo-Release Melatonin

120 Tablets

Slo-Release Melatonin 2.5mg

Kirkman® provides melatonin in a specialized “Slo-Release” matrix that releases melatonin bit by bit over a time period of 2-4 hours.

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

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 permit the secretion of melatonin at the pertinent time, which makes melatonin supplementation very beneficial.

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.

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)

Important:

These tablets must be swallowed entirely. They may not be broken up, crushed or dissolved in liquids since that would ruin the “Slo-Release” matrix that increases the tablet’s dissolution time. They may be taken with food such as applesauce, mashed potatoes or peanut butter accompanied by some water.
