Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland, primarily regulating the sleep-wake cycle and circadian rhythm. As a dietary supplement, it is widely used to promote better sleep quality, shorten sleep onset time, and alleviate jet lag.
It also exhibits antioxidant properties and supports immune health. In anti-aging formulations, melatonin is valued for its ability to protect mitochondria and reduce oxidative stress.
