Czech Virus Melatonin, 200 Tablet

Product description Czech Virus Melatonin

Melatonin is a substance inherent to the body (called the sleep hormone) that is found in many organisms, including mammals. Its levels are strongly dependent on the alternation of light and dark. The main site of its production in humans is in the pineal gland, from where it is released into the bloodstream. Melatonin is one of the most important sleep regulators. However, the ability to produce it gradually decreases with increasing age. This may be considered one of the reasons for the increased incidence of insomnia in older age and in people with reduced levels of melatonin in the blood.

SLEEP REGULATOR

Regulation of melatonin levels is provided by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus, which influences the pineal gland via neurotransmitters. Most of the physiological functions of melatonin are mediated by membrane receptors. The main regulator is the alternation of light and dark. During the day, light suppresses endogenous melatonin synthesis. Artificial lighting at night also suppresses melatonin synthesis. In the case of repeated exposure to light at night, there is increased melatonin synthesis in the morning.

SLEEP HORMONE

The hormone is produced by the pineal gland (the supra-brain, i.e., part of the mesencephalon) and is most commonly localized in the brain, related neuro-organs, and sex organs. The starting substance for melatonin synthesis is the essential amino acid tryptophan. Melatonin is also produced in plants, where it functions as a defense against oxidative stress. Based on its chemical structure, melatonin can be classified as a phenolic hormone along with serotonin and catecholamines.

IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP

The fundamental importance of sleep is the regeneration of rational functions. These abilities are essential for thinking and controlling the organism. Sleep is also important for the so-called plasticity of neurons. This is essential in the process of memory formation, both short and long term. Thus, poor quality sleep leads to impaired learning. At the same time, speed and accuracy also decrease. For athletes, sleep is especially important because of muscle recovery, growth hormone flushing, muscle growth and so on. Every professional athlete realizes the importance of quality sleep.

MELATONIN

Supplementation with Melatonin as a dietary supplement is really suitable especially for busy people, hard training athletes and people who travel frequently. It is not an addictive drug (!!!), it is a substance inherent to the body that can help with sleep regulation. Unlike prescription drugs, it does not have serious side effects for healthy individuals and it is virtually impossible to overdose on it - but always consult your doctor who knows your condition and can definitely give you the right dose of Melatonin. As written above, always test your own tolerance, ideally starting with 1/4 tablet (250 mcg Melatonin).
