What is Melatonin and where it comes from?
Melatonin is a hormone responsible for the regulation of the biological clock of the body. It is produced by the pineal gland, which is located in the brain. Melatonin helps to regulate sleep. During daylight, the pineal gland in the brain produces a neurotransmitter serotonin, but at night, the pineal gland stops producing serotonin and instead makes melatonin. This release melatonin helps restful sleep.
