Melatonin - what is this?
It is a derivative of tryptophan. It occurs in our body as a hormone produced by the pineal gland. In smaller amounts, melatonin is produced by the digestive system, leukocytes or bone marrow. It is called the sleep hormone, because it plays an important role during the regulation of sleep time, as well as walking throughout the day. It is responsible for the feeling of drowsiness and for lowering the temperature and blood pressure during the night.
An important problem is the sudden change of time zone, the so-called "Jet-lag". Symptoms are caused by the disturbance of the biological clock. The proper functioning of the biological clock depends on the production of melatonin and cortisol. Melatonin helps in shortening the time needed to fall asleep and in relieving the subjective feeling of a sudden change of time zone syndrome. Melatonin additionally helps to reduce oxidative stress.
