| Overview
Do you find it hard to go to sleep at night? Or perhaps, you sleep -- but do it lightly -- never going into the deepest and refreshing part known as the REM period.
When you travel from one time zone to another, does your body's "clock" have a hard time resetting because of the time difference? This condition is known as jet lag.
Melatonin to the rescue! These convenient tablets help trigger the body's natural sleep mechanism, so you can enjoy a restful deep sleep. It comes in a small, convenient tablet which dissolves easily under the tongue for fastest and maximum absorption.
Melatonin is a natural hormone made by your body's pineal gland. The pineal gland lies at the base of the brain. And when the sun goes down, and darkness comes, the pineal gland "goes to work." As melatonin production rises, you begin to feel less alert. Body temperature starts to fall as well. Sleep seems more inviting. Then melatonin levels drop quickly with the dawning of a new day. Levels are so low during the day that scientists often have difficulty detecting melatonin then. Melatonin levels go hand in hand with the light-dark cycle, not just for people, but for plants and animals that keep alert during the day. Melatonin production is also related to age. Children manufacture more melatonin than the elderly do. But melatonin production begins to drop at puberty.
Sometimes, for one reason or another, the body does not produce adequate amounts of melatonin for its needs. This can result in insomnia and depression, among other symptoms. The body's ability to synthesize melatonin may decrease with age. Melatonin, from Unicity, is the easy way to complement the body's production of this important hormone. Each tablet contains 2.5 milligrams of melatonin to help regulate your sleep cycle.
