About
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is an indoleamine synthesized from the essential amino acid Tryptophan. Its production and release are primarily triggered by darkness and suppressed by light, making it the body’s key biological signal for rest.
- Endogenous Production: The pineal gland converts Serotonin into Melatonin when light exposure decreases.
- Mechanism: Melatonin binds to specific receptors (MT1 and MT2) in the brain, inducing drowsiness, lowering body temperature, and signaling the body to prepare for sleep.
- Beyond Sleep: Melatonin is also a potent antioxidant and a free radical scavenger, contributing to cellular protection throughout the body.
- Source and Grading: We supply high-purity, pharmaceutical-grade Melatonin, ensuring the stability and consistency required for both immediate-release and sustained-release formulations.
