Description

Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland.

Melatonin induces sleep and shortens the time to fall asleep.  It induces a relaxing effect on muscles and nerves, which in turn makes the sleep better.

Evidence has shown that fluoride can affect the pineal gland and in turn melatonin production, as can sleeping near electronic devices or power lines.

In children, melatonin is most often used in disorders related to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), autism and other developmental disabilities.  Generally for most children with sleep issues there is a specific cause and this should be identified before being treated with melatonin.

In adults, melatonin is commonly use for jet lag and as we get older and find it more difficult to sleep.

In IVF, melatonin is commonly used along with progesterone pessaries during IVF cycles.
