Kirkmans 3 mg Melatonin Chewable Tablets are small, pleasant-tasting mint flavored chewables. Melatonin is a hormone secreted in the human body by the pineal gland. It is manufactured in that gland from serotonin. It is believed that manufacturing and secreting melatonin is the sole function of the pineal gland. Melatonin supplementation is used principally: to help people to sleep to reduce the effects of jet-lag as a powerful antioxidant to stimulate phosphorylation of pyridoxine in the brain and facilitate the formation of pyridoxal 5-phosphate (P-5-P) to stimulate glutathione peroxidase formation Several double-blind studies have shown that melatonin supplementation is effective in promoting sleep when melatonin levels are low.
