WHAT IS MELATONIN?
Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the body, primarily responsible for regulating the sleep-wake cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm.
Darkness triggers increased melatonin production, signaling the body to prepare for sleep, while daylight reduces melatonin levels, promoting wakefulness. These processes are essential to maintaining a healthy rhythm of sleep and alertness.
In addition to its role in sleep regulation, melatonin serves several other important functions:
- Coordinates the intricate interactions between the mind and body
- Influences hormonal balance and behavioral functions
- Helps regulate body temperature
- Supports cardiovascular health
- Acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from damage
When your hair sample is analyzed, our biotechnology measures melatonin levels in your body and identifies whether these levels fall within the normal range.
Low melatonin levels can occur for a variety of reasons. By understanding your current levels, you can explore personalized treatments and strategies to improve your sleep and overall well-being
Sleep apps and tests are a good way to monitor and measure sleep progress.
