Kirkman Labs Melatonin Tablets 1mg (100 Tabs) - Kirkman Labs

Product Information

Melatonin is a hormone produced in the brain by the pineal gland from serotonin. It is used primarily to support sleep. It is also commonly used to reduce jet lag. Low melatonin levels are considered a very common cause of sleeplessness.

For individuals who are deficient in glutathione, melatonin is important because it stimulates the production of glutathione peroxidase. This versatile nutrient also has powerful antioxidant activity. In addition, it works to stimulate phosphorylation of pyridoxine in the brain and facilitates the formation of pyridoxal 5-phosphate. Melatonin may also help in the methylation process, which is important in the body's absorption and utilization of vitamin B-6.

Melatonin also regulates levels of human oestrogen and growth hormone in the body, two critical hormones in the cancer process, and it has been found to have epigenetic (cancer-correcting) properties. It is a super-molecule clearly involved in cancer prevention, but melatonin is also an essential part of cancer treatment especially if the cancer is oestrogen (estrogen) positive, as with most breast cancers, ovarian, endometrial, prostate, testicular, colorectal and brain tumours.
