Natural Factors Stress-Relax Melatonin 1mg, 180 Chewable Tablets Features : MELATONIN: Melatonin is a hormone made by the pineal gland , a small gland in the brain. Melatonin helps control your sleep and wake cycles. Normally, melatonin levels begin to rise in the mid- to late evening, remain high for most of the night, and then drop in the early morning hours. OUTSIDE FACTORS: Light affects how much melatonin your body produces. During the shorter days of the winter months, your body may produce melatonin either earlier or later in the day than usual. Natural melatonin levels slowly drop with age. Some older adults make very small amounts of it or none at all.
