For all those who cherish sleep, melatonin is our best friend. It is a natural hormone in our bodies that is released into our blood stream to regulate our sleep cycles. It is also a potent antioxidant, which makes it a friend to our youth as well.
Late at night, after sunset, our body releases melatonin from our pineal gland into our bloodstream. This gives us that relaxing feeling and the permission to get some much needed rest from our day’s work – our bodies way for falling asleep naturally. Melatonin is only released when darkness pervades. Any sunlight or bright lights prevents the release of melatonin. This reality causes shift workers and jetsetters to have an increased need for melatonin. Our melatonin levels also decrease as we age, which presents the need for supplementation as well.

It just shows the great scientific interest in understanding resveratrol and the hope that its medical benefits will translate from animal studies to human trials.

When I was a teenager, it was the trend to diagnose children with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and ADD (attention deficit disorder). And, although the terms aren’t getting tossed around as much anymore, there is still a real need for proper diagnosis and treatment.
