Minus Age Melatonin, 90 capsules

What is melatonin needed for?

Melatonin is a natural hormone that ensures we get restful and deep sleep. Its production is highest at night when the body and mind are regenerating. Melatonin helps us synchronize our biological clock with the day and night cycle. When we have regular, quality sleep, we feel better, healthier and younger. Unfortunately, in today's hectic times we often struggle with stress, insomnia and sleep disorders.

Melatonin is an effective and safe way to ensure you fall asleep quickly and get a healthy length of sleep.

DISTURBANCES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT CYCLE

Stress. Lack of natural light. Irregular time of falling asleep. Artificial lighting. Social networking before bedtime. All of these disrupt the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone that helps us fall asleep and recover. Lack of quality sleep can lead to chronic fatigue, depression, lowered immunity and accelerated aging.

POSITIVE EFFECTS OF MELATONIN

Melatonin helps us to regulate our sleep patterns. It helps us fall asleep when we can't. Sleep is a key component of the proper functioning of our entire body. Effective sleep strengthens our immune system, protects our cells from oxidative stress damage, helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and prevents aging.

KNOWLEDGE FROM A GENERAL PRACTITIONER'S PRACTICE

The use of melatonin is particularly suitable as a first choice option for difficulty falling asleep. Usually, melatonin is taken half to an hour before falling asleep to give you enough time to recover before having to get up. Take melatonin for example after a holiday where you are used to going to bed at midnight every day. When the holiday is over and you want to go to bed earlier because you have to get up for work at 7am on Monday, take melatonin before 10pm the day before and you will have 8 hours to recover.

THE ROLE OF SLEEP IN AGEING

During sleep, the body and mind regenerate, memories are stored, immunity is strengthened, and the brain gets rid of pollutants. Sleep also affects the rate of aging. During sleep, damaged cells and tissues are repaired. Quality sleep helps us slow down the aging process and maintain a youthful appearance and vitality. Conversely, sleep deprivation or sleep disorders accelerate aging by increasing oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, blood pressure or cortisol levels. Lack of sleep also reduces the production of growth hormone, which is important for muscle mass and a properly functioning metabolism.

SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ON SLEEP AND AGEING

In scientific work, Cardinali et al. confirm the importance of sleep and the melatonin cycle for healthy aging. He states that melatonin levels are reduced in obese people with disorders of sugar metabolism, in people with cardiovascular disease, or in people with neurodegenerative diseases.
