Melatonin

12 reasons why melatonin is the foundation of your health

Melatonin is an ancient molecule that can be traced back billions of years. From the very beginning, it protected all life forms from destruction by free radicals. But over the course of evolution, this vital hormone took on increasingly complex tasks. Today, it is an indispensable building block for our health. Melatonin is produced in the tiny pineal gland in the center of our brain – and from there it travels throughout the body, acting as a pacemaker for the internal clocks that regulate all bodily processes.

Pacing mechanism and fundamental building block of health

Melatonin acts at the most important control centers in our body: in the cells, the hormonal system, the nervous system, the immune system, the digestive tract, the brain, and the cardiovascular system. Melatonin is present everywhere, maintaining order, regulating, and laying the foundation upon which our physical, mental, and emotional health is built—provided there is enough of it. However, this is not the case for most people.
