Melatonin increases the speed of falling asleep and adds to the quality of sleep. It also offers strong protection against free radicals and supports healthy DNA.
Melatonin is a hormone derived from the amino acid tryptophan. It's primarily synthesized by yLife Extension's pineal gland in yLife Extension's brain and released mostly at night to make falling asleep easier.
In addition to healthy sleep support, melatonin offers protection against free radicals and has been shown to support immune health, healthy brain function and more.
