Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland in the brain and is important in the regulation of many hormones in the body. Among its key roles, melatonin controls the body's circadian rhythm, an internal 24-hour time-keeping system that plays an important role in when we fall asleep and when we wake up. Darkness stimulates the release of melatonin and light suppresses its activity. Research indicates that low melatonin levels are a frequent cause of insomnia in the elderly. Further research indicates that melatonin supplementation can induce sleep in people of all ages and be of benefit to women experiencing menopause related insomnia. More recent research has revealed that it also functions as an important antioxidant

Natrol Melatonin supports healthy sleep patterns. The body naturally releases melatonin in response to changes in light, with melatonin levels rising at night. B6 is essential for melatonin production. It is in this way that melatonin helps promote sleep.
