Melatonina Liberación Lenta
What is Slow Melatonin?
Our Slow Melatonin is a hormone that is produced naturally in the body, specifically in the pineal gland at the base of the skull. For its synthesis, two things are mainly needed, the essential amino acid tryptophan and darkness. It is for this reason that this hormone is also called the hormone of darkness, and its levels in the blood are highest at night.
It is responsible for setting the biological clock, as its main function is to regulate circadian rhythms and thus the natural sleep-wake cycle. Therefore, as long as we have good sleep hygiene, going to bed regularly around the time of nightfall and getting up around the time of dawn, this hormone will be secreted normally.
The problem arises when, either because of night shifts, or because of excessive consumption of stimulants or CNS (central nervous system) depressants such as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine ..... Our biological clock is thrown out of kilter and our rest becomes inefficient. This is where the consumption of this supplement can be useful.
What is Slow Melatonin used for?
Regulating circadian rhythms and thus promoting optimal rest is its main task, but the "side effects" of getting a good night's sleep go far beyond that.
