Melatonin / 褪黑激素

• 規格：60顆/瓶
• 建議用量：睡前一到兩小時，每日1顆，或遵循專業醫師建議。
• 說明：人體自然合成的褪黑激素，負責設定身體的生理時鐘，主宰內分泌和神經系統的規律運作。褪黑激素調節晝夜節奏，在臨床上用於時差調整、因季節所造成日夜長度變化產生的情緒波動以及改善睡眠。

以下為研究發現

• 隨著年紀的增長，身體可以自行分泌的褪黑激素也會相對的減少。(BMJ 1994;309:167)
• 不論在年輕或年長的族群，褪黑激素可以促進自然有效的睡眠。(Sleep 1998;21:52-68) (J Am Geriatr Soc 1996; 44:51)
• 補充褪黑激素可降低時差不適。(Chronobiol Int 1998;15:655-66; Biol Psychiatry 1992;32:705-11)
• 褪黑激素在冬季時可協助穩定情緒。(Psychiatr Res 1998;77:57-61)

• Dosage and Use: 1 capsule daily taken one hour before bedtime, or as directed.
• Description:The body’s natural melatonin production (which declines with age) is responsible for setting the internal “clock” that governs the timing of neuroendocrine functions and other physiological processes. Melatonin has been shown to regulate circadian rhythms and clinically has been used to facilitate adjustment to changing time zones, stabilize mood during seasonal variations in sunlight availability, and to improve sleep.
• Melatonin production is known to decline with the aging process (BMJ 1994;309:167).
• Melatonin is effective for helping to promote natural, restful sleep in both younger (Sleep 1998;21:52-68) and older (J Am Geriatr Soc 1996; 44:51) people.
• Melatonin supplementation has helped reduce the discomfort associated with changing time zone in controlled trials (Chronobiol Int 1998;15:655-66; Biol Psychiatry 1992;32:705-11).
• Melatonin helped stabilize mood during the winter months in one controlled trial (Psychiatr Res 1998;77:57-61).
