MELATONIN, the Super Antioxidant and Life Extender, 60 capsules, 3 mg
Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant and its depletion may lead to rapid cell degeneration and death.
Overview
Melatonin is secreted naturally by the pineal gland. Like most of its sister hormones (DHEA and Pregnenolone)it declines rapidly as we age. Its been found that sleeping difficulties encountered by people over 60 is due in major part to a deficiency in melatonin.
Recent studies found melatonin to be effective in aiding sleep and travel fatigue, but have often ignored its role as a powerful antioxidant and its effectiveness as a free radical scavenger that can stave off the effects of aging.
Melatonin protects against what are termed hydroxyl free radicals. Research shows that older people's lack of melatonin make them susceptible to oxidative stress.
Melatonin eases the effects of enzymes that generate free radicals, enhance the bodies production of gluthione peroxidase, another powerful antioxidant, and defuse the caustic action of free radicals that contain hydroxyls. New research has shown that melatonin stimulates the natural production of human growth hormones.
Melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant and its depletion may lead to rapid cell degeneration and death.
Another Study Released on October 30, 2000, by the academic research group American Institute of Biosocial and Medican Studies summarizes even more recent finings on this remarkable hormone.If you live in a country in which DHEA and melatonin require a prescription, we require that you provide us with one before we will allow you to purchase these products.
