Description

Low doses of melatonin are usually sufficient to produce a hypnotic effect in most people. In animals, melatonin biosynthesis occurs through hydroxylation, decarboxylation, acetylation, and methylation, starting with l-tryptophan. Researchers are working hard to unveil the myriad advantages melatonin supplements can bring to the human body. However, there is still much more research ahead to understand its true worth and benefits at a medical level. The wake-sleep cycle is the process of sleep and wakefulness; in humans, this averages 8 hours of nighttime sleep and 16 hours of daytime activity. As indicated in the name super strength melatonin, the supplement contains 10mg of melatonin per serving. Hops have been used for centuries to treat sleep and anxiety as well. Although melatonin does not appear to be particularly effective for treating most sleep disorders, it can help sleep problems caused by jet lag and shift work.
