Melatonin Supplementation

In recent years, sleep problems have attracted more and more attention. Factors such as staying up late, stress, illness, etc. may lead to a decrease in sleep quality, which in turn affects people's daily life and work. Melatonin is a natural hormone that can help improve sleep, so it has received more and more attention. Today, let's learn about Melatonin supplementation.

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Its main role is to regulate the sleep-wake cycle, making it easier to fall asleep at night and stay awake during the day. Melatonin secretion is affected by many factors, including age, light exposure, diet, lifestyle, etc. As age increases, the secretion ability of Melatonin will gradually weaken, so as age increases, people are more likely to have insomnia problems.

In order to improve sleep, a variety of Melatonin supplementation methods have emerged in recent years. Among them, the most common method is oral administration of Melatonin. Melatonin taken orally can quickly enter the blood circulation system and take effect quickly. According to the American Sleep Foundation, adults should take 0. 3 milligrams of Melatonin orally every night to help improve sleep.

In addition to oral Melatonin, there are other methods of Melatonin supplementation, such as applying Melatonin, patching Melatonin, etc. These methods may make people feel more comfortable, but they also require attention to usage and safety.
