MZ-Store Melatonin is a dietary supplement whose active ingredient helps to reduce the time necessary to fall asleep, and may also alleviate sleep disorders related to, e.g. shift work or change of time zones.

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a natural neurohormone produced by the pineal gland in response to darkness. Its main tasks are to regulate the daily rhythm of sleep and wakefulness. This cycle is controlled by the so-called biological clock – coordinated by the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN).

The level of melatonin rises in the evening (making us sleepy), whereas in the morning, it decreases, allowing you to maintain alertness and concentration (light inhibits its synthesis). With a properly "synchronized" circadian rhythm, our body produces the right amount of melatonin.

Nowadays, however, it is not difficult to disrupt biological rhythms. Too many duties, stress, hard work, poor sleep hygiene, as well as travel involving changes in time zones and elderly age are just some of the factors that disturb the production of this hormone. The effects of this are, among others, problems with falling asleep, insomnia, restless sleep, as well as malaise and lack of energy the next day.

Here comes melatonin in the form of a supplement. Due to its sleep facilitating properties, it can be used among people who perform shift work, struggle with sudden time zone syndrome (jet lag), are blind, or simply want to reduce the time needed to fall asleep. It can also be used by the elderly with lower levels of melatonin (melatonin concentration decreases with age), and in whom problems with falling asleep are often observed.

Moreover, melatonin is a substance with antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. It is also being examined with regards to its impact on eye health and the significance in the treatment of depression.

To sum up, MZ-Store Melatonin is an ideal solution for people who occasionally experience sleepless nights and are looking for an effective remedy that will shorten the time needed to fall asleep. The preparation may also help to overcome jet lag and support people who, due to the type of work or age, experience sleep problems.
