Gummy Science Melatonin, 60 gummies - Life Extension

Health benefits at a glance:

First of all; what is melatonin? It’s a hormone derived from tryptophan (an amino acid), and it supports healthy sleep. 

A good night's sleep is crucial for overall health and well-being, but melatonin release declines with age, and it can also be affected by many other aspects. (1)

The Gummy Science™ Melatonin gummies offer 3 mg of melatonin to increase the speed of falling asleep and help stay asleep – adding to the quality of sleep.

Why it works:

Your body's circadian rhythm governs healthy sleep patterns. Melatonin supports this rhythm. (2) Life Extension’s Gummy Science™ Melatonin may support sweet dreams indeed! 

This melatonin formula is delivered in a delicious strawberry-flavored, sugar-free gummy and can promote optimal sleep. Melatonin also has strong antioxidant properties, which can protect the cells against free radicals and support healthy DNA. 

Moreover, it has been shown to support immune health, healthy brain function, and more.

The science behind the product:

Sleep and melatonin

The hormone melatonin, derived from the amino acid tryptophan, is primarily synthesized by your pineal gland in your brain and released mostly at night to make falling asleep easier.

Many people experience difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. Due to age, melatonin release can decline and it can be affected by jet lag, shift work, and more. (1,3-5) 

Melatonin helps keep the circadian rhythm in tune; it promotes healthy sleep/wake patterns and encourages the onset, duration, and quality of sleep. (6,7)

Oxidation and melatonin

Oxidative stress is involved in the development of chronic diseases. Melatonin is shown to offer protection against oxidative stress by activation of antioxidant enzymes and scavenging free radicals.

It’s especially important for healthy cellular DNA and mitochondrial support because it helps inhibit oxidative damage by acting as a free radical scavenger. (8-10) 

Immune health and melatonin

Studies also find that melatonin has a beneficial impact on the immune system. (13) Melatonin activates T-helper cells, which trigger other immune cells, supporting immune system responses. (14)

Cognitive health and melatonin

Decreased melatonin levels may be correlated to age-related cognitive decline. (15) Supplementing with melatonin can help support the brain's normal protection against free radicals and may help support cognitive function. (15,16)
