How Does Melatonin Work?
Melatonin is a hormone that is produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It helps to regulate the body's circadian rhythm, which is the biological process that controls when we feel awake and sleepy. Melatonin 3mg tablets work by supplementing the body's natural melatonin levels. This helps to regulate the body's sleep-wake cycle, improving sleep quality and duration.
Additionally, melatonin has antioxidant properties which can help to protect cells from damage.
Some people use melatonin to help with jet lag or to adjust their body clock to a new time zone. It can also be used to treat insomnia, particularly if it is caused by anxiety or stress. Melatonin can be taken as a tablet to help promote sleep.
