Purpose
|
Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland. Highly conserved, it functions as a non-receptor free radical scavenger and broad-spectrum antioxidant. Melatonin aids in preventing ischaemia-reperfusion injury in the liver, brain, myocardium, intestines, and kidneys. It finds extensive application in health supplements, pharmaceuticals, various cosmetics, and nourishing care products. Functional Effects: 1. Melatonin Lightens Pigmentation, Natural Skin Brightening: Melatonin can lighten skin tone. It regulates endocrine function, reducing dark spots, age spots, melasma, pregnancy marks, and sun-induced hyperpigmentation. This results in brighter, more radiant skin, restoring a youthful appearance. 2. Effectively Improves Sleep: Appropriate supplementation with melatonin can significantly enhance sleep quality. 3. Promotes longevity: Melatonin is the brain's most potent endogenous antioxidant, offering neuroprotective benefits. Consequently, it functions as a crucial anti-ageing hormone. 4. Maintains and enhances sexual function: Supplementation may improve sexual performance in middle-aged and elderly individuals experiencing diminished libido due to age-related decline in vitality.
