Helps improve sleep parameters in individuals who have difficulty falling or staying asleep, suffer from jet lag, or work variable day and night shifts. Extended-release delivery is particularly beneficial for those who frequently wake up during the night and have difficulty returning to sleep. Additional indications include acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, eczema, migraines, tinnitus, and endometriosis. Melatonin is a hormone designed to regulate our circadian rhythm, the cycle that dictates when we should be awake and when we should be asleep. Although melatonin is naturally produced in the pineal gland and found in certain foods like cherries and walnuts, it is more commonly known as a natural health product for improving sleep. Supplemental melatonin has been shown to improve sleep parameters in many circumstances. Notably, clinical trials have shown that melatonin can improve total sleep time and rest in people with general insomnia. For shift workers or people who commonly travel across time zones, melatonin can greatly improve the transition between day and night shifts or speed up recovery from jet lag. It may surprise many people to learn that melatonin actually has broad health applications in the area of ​​digestion. For example, research has shown that melatonin protects the esophageal lining from acid reflux by increasing local mucus production. This is important because acid reflux into the esophagus can create a burning sensation and damage tissue. Not only can melatonin reduce heartburn symptoms, but clinical trials have also shown that it can improve gastritis and irritable bowel syndrome symptoms such as pain, abdominal distension, and urgency. Finally, various clinical trials have shown that melatonin can reduce symptoms of itching and discomfort in eczema sufferers, reduce the frequency of migraines, improve tinnitus, and decrease pain related to endometriosis. Clearly, there's more to melatonin than just a good night's rest. Cyto-Matrix Melatonin offers 3 mg of pure, stable melatonin per capsule, delivered in a time-release format to gradually deliver melatonin over a period of 6 to 8 hours. The time-release delivery is especially beneficial for those who wake frequently during the night and have trouble returning to sleep.
