Quicksilver Scientific brings you an advanced delivery form of the body’s primary sleep-modulating hormone, melatonin. Melatonin is principally produced by the pineal gland and regulates the body’s circadian rhythm. Under settings such as stress or travel, the body’s sleep cycle can become dysregulated, and balance can be restored by supplementing with melatonin. The normal melatonin cycle can diminish with age and be disrupted by exposure to electromagnetic pollution, and by blue light at night. Supplemental melatonin assists in restoring normal, healthy sleep patterns.
Melatonin also acts as a neuroprotective antioxidant, and as such may also have a positive impact on mood and cognition, particularly in conditions associated with neuroinflammation. The importance of melatonin on health and normal function is seen in the breadth and depth of clinical research, with over a thousand indexed medical publications yearly. Melatonin promotes normal bowel patterns and elimination, reducing gastrointestinal discomfort. Melatonin also supports cardiovascular health and normal function, which also may be impacted by a decrease in normal melatonin secretion with increasing age. Clearly, this endogenous hormone with antioxidant-effects has a broad impact on normal health and function.
