What is Melatonin Extract Powder

Melatonin extract is a hormone synthesized and secreted by the pineal gland each night that affects the body's circadia rhythm (sleep pattern).

The secretion of melatonin has an obvious circadian rhythm, which is inhibited during the day and active at night. Discovered in the 1950s as a neurohormone (N-acetyl-5 methoxytryptamine) produced in the brain by the pineal gland from the amino acid tryptophan, melatonin became available as a dietary supplement in 1994.

The precursor of melatonin, tryptophan (L-tryptophan), is an essential amino acid synthesized from proteins during digestion via the action of proteolytic enzymes. During the day. it is converted to serotonin (a brain chemical involved with mood) before being converted to melatonin.

Melatonin extract has also been demonstrated to have powerful antioxidant properties, protecting cells from damage caused by free radical molecules.
