DESCRIPTION
Melatonin has not only been found to function as a fantastic sleep aid, but it can also help to enhance a person’s mood and cognitive function, it can help prevent migraines, it can strengthen immunity, and it can even enhance a person’s muscle mass.
Melatonin is a natural hormone that can be produced internally via the brain. The pineal gland located within the brain is responsible for creating this hormone and it is considered to be a very beneficial and important hormone indeed. Melatonin is responsible for a person’s awakening patterns and sleeping cycles, and although primarily produced and secreted via the pineal gland within the brain, there are also small dosages of melatonin present in natural foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and meats. Of course, to make life even easier, melatonin supplements are also very popular, and they can provide a whole host of different benefits in the process.

The Benefits
There are a number of benefits associated with Melatonin, and whilst listing them all may be a bit of a stretch, we can look at some of the most common and most important benefits. These include:
As mentioned, the primary benefit of melatonin is the fact that it helps the body to feel tired and drift off to sleep at night, plus it influences when we wake up. If a person’s pineal gland is not able to produce enough melatonin, they may find themselves suffering with insomnia, or constantly waking up throughout the night. Melatonin supplements however, can help promote a good night’s sleep, making them very beneficial indeed.
Studies have also found that melatonin supplements can help to greatly reduce migraine pain and discomfort, and it can even help to prevent them altogether in some cases. Melatonin provides anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to reduce pain and inflammation in the head, which can cause migraines and headaches.
Nowadays, there are many bodybuilders including melatonin as part of their everyday supplement stacks, due to the fact that melatonin has been found to increase muscle mass. Melatonin helps to trigger the release of anabolic hormones such as Growth Hormone, which has been proven to greatly enhance muscle growth and recovery. The more GH you produce, the more muscle you will build, and the quicker you will recover, so it’s no wonder why bodybuilders are supplementing with melatonin.
Melatonin is rich in antioxidants, to help maintain eye health and prevent cellular damage. Studies have shown that melatonin can be beneficial in treating eye conditions like glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
