|
| Q: What role
does melatonin play in the human body? |
|
A: Melatonin regulates biological rhythms such
as the sleep/wake cycle. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage
caused by free radicals, the toxic by-products of normal cell metabolism.* Melatonin is
one of the most useful and versatile substances produced in the body.
|
| Q: If my own
body produces melatonin, why should I take a melatonin supplement? |
|
A: As we age our bodies produce less and less
melatonin so that by age 45, most people produce less than half the melatonin they
produced at age 20. This reduction in melatonin can make restful sleep more difficult to
achieve. Dietary supplementation with MELATONEX can help to restore the
melatonin we need for restful, natural sleep.*
|
| Q: Is it safe to
take a melatonin supplement? |
|
A: Yes. Several thousand people have taken
melatonin in carefully monitored clinical studies, some in daily doses of several thousand
grams or more. Without exception, these studies have shown no toxic effects and leading
experts in the field agree that melatonin is remarkably safe.
|
| Q: Are there
people who should not take a melatonin supplement? |
|
A: People who have the following conditions
should always check with their physicians before taking melatonin: persons who are
pregnant or lactating, or have an autoimmune, seizure or endocrine disorder.
|
| Q: Is MELATONEX
safe for children? |
|
A: MELATONEX is an adult
supplement. As our melatonin levels do not begin to decline until after we reach maturity,
in general, children do not need a melatonin supplement. If you think MELATONEX
may be right for your child, check with your physician first.
|

offer advantages over other melatonin supplements? |
