WHAT IS MELATONIN?

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland in the brain. Its primary role is to regulate the sleep-wake cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm. Melatonin levels typically rise in the evening as it gets dark, promoting a sense of drowsiness and preparing the body for sleep. In the morning, when the sun rises and it’s bright outside, melatonin levels drop, signaling the body to wake up and become alert.

Our melatonin sleep gummies are supplements that contain melatonin, along with other natural compounds like L-Theanine, Tagara Root, and Chamomile that are believed to promote relaxation and sleep. These sleep gummies are typically taken about 30 minutes to an hour before bedtime. The melatonin in these gummies is absorbed into the bloodstream and works quickly to put you to sleep.

Melatonin Production-Influencing Factors:

Light Exposure: The most significant factor influencing melatonin production is exposure to light. Bright light, especially blue light from screens, can suppress melatonin secretion, making it harder to fall asleep. Dimming lights and reducing screen time before bedtime can help maintain healthy melatonin levels.

Age: Melatonin production tends to decrease as we age. This is one reason why older adults often experience changes in sleep patterns.

Shift Work and Travel: Disruption of regular sleep schedules due to shift work or travel across time zones (jet lag) can affect melatonin production and sleep patterns.

Environmental Factors: Noise, temperature, and other environmental factors can impact melatonin secretion and sleep quality.

Our melatonin gummies can be had with biotin hair gummies and skin gummies as good sleep habits improve hair and skin health too. You can opt for our Hair & Sleep Gummies Combo, Rest n Glow Combo, or our AM to PM Combo, harnessing the potential benefits of melatonin alongside multivitamin gummies, biotin hair gummies, and iron gummies. Embrace the power of these synergistic combinations to support your well-being from within.

Causes of Melatonin Deficiency

Melatonin deficiency rarely occurs but various factors affect the natural melatonin production in our body. Some of the factors that impact melatonin production are:

1. Ageing: Melatonin production tends to decrease with age. Older individuals may produce less melatonin, which can contribute to sleep disturbances and changes in the sleep-wake cycle.
2. Light Exposure: Melatonin production is influenced by exposure to light. Artificial light, especially blue light from electronic devices, can suppress melatonin production. It’s a common problem for everyone, where people are glued to their phones before bedtime scrolling memes, reels, and other news online. Exposure to natural light during the day and minimizing exposure to artificial light in the evening can help regulate melatonin levels. Melatonin supplements like sleep gummies can help by giving an additional dose of melatonin to induce sleep.
3. Irregular Sleep Patterns: Disruptions to the regular sleep-wake cycle, such as those experienced by shift workers or individuals with irregular sleep patterns, can affect melatonin production. Lack of consistent sleep may lead to lower melatonin levels.
4. Stress and Anxiety: High levels of stress and anxiety can disrupt the natural sleep-wake cycle and affect melatonin production. A study by the American Psychological Association shows that adults who sleep fewer than eight hours a night report higher stress levels than those who sleep at least eight hours a night.
