Melatonin
- Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland, the organ which regulates the body's sleep/wake cycle. The hormone is secreted in a circadian rhythm by enzymes, which are activated by darkness and depressed by light.
- Melatonin nutritionally augments the natural functioning of the pineal gland.
