Melatonin

Melatonin is a hormone (N‑acetyl-5‑methoxytryptamine) produced especially at night in the pineal gland. Its secretion is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light. Melatonin, an indole, is synthesized from tryptophan via serotonin. The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus have melatonin receptors and melatonin may have a direct action on SCN to help influence circadian (sleep) rhythms.*   Dietary Considerations Wheat Free Dairy/ Milk Free Gluten Free Soy Free Yeast Free Sugar Free Starch Free Preservative Free Corn Free Free of Artificial Colors/Flavors Egg Free   Serving Size:4 Spray   Servings Per Container:100   Amount Per Serving Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine)1760 mcg   Other Ingredients: Natural peppermint extract, ethanol, glycerin, purified water   Directions of use: Adults: Spray 4–22 times daily under the tongue (4, 11, and 22 sprays provide approximately 1.5, 5, and 10 mg of melatonin, respectively) or as directed by your health-care practitioner.
