Melatonin is a hormone produced by our body from essential amino acid, tryptophane. It is primarily produced in the dark, when sun goes down or we draw our curtains. In a bright environment its production rate is low. Melatonin helps to reduce sleep onset latency, for example on a stressful, exhausting weekday. And we can take it to a long business trip or training camp, too, because melatonin helps to reduce jet lag effects caused by a long flight or time difference. Beneficial effect is obtained with 1 mg of melatonin, to be taken close to bedtime.
