While working on a melatonin experiment for NASA astronauts in 1964, Dr. Russell Reiter, one of the world’s foremost experts on the nutrient, made several breakthrough discoveries. Because of his melatonin trials, we now know a great deal more about this important hormone. Here are a few facts you may find interesting…

Melatonin and Healthy Aging

In addition to promoting restful sleep, melatonin contains some of the most powerful antioxidants ever discovered! In fact, Dr. Pinkus’ Sublingual Sleep helps prevent free radical damage and encourages cell repair. When considering new ways to fight aging, remember that melatonin is very helpful in healing and repairing your body at night.

Non-Toxic and Safe

The first human trials of melatonin occurred over 60 years ago. Researchers tested a dose of 700 mg on each subject! Although they reported feeling sleepy, they experienced no other noticeable differences. Decades of scientific studies later, experts now recommend 3 mg doses of melatonin to help induce sleep (the same dosage in Sublingual Sleep). Research has also shown that melatonin is non-toxic, non-addictive and more effective with continued use.

Circadian Rhythms

If you look at any life form – including plants, animals or humans – they all follow circadian rhythms, or day/night patterns. Plants open their foliage and flowers toward the sun only to close them at night. In a similar way, animals retreat to their den and sleep. Humans need the same downtime – a solid 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night.

Can you guess what hormone controls the circadian rhythms of each of these life forms? If you answered “melatonin,” you are correct. In fact, melatonin is the only substance found in plants, animals and humans in an identical form. This is a true rarity in the natural world. Another interesting detail about melatonin is that it is both fat and water-soluble. Because of its ability to repair cells and cell membranes, it’s one of the most valuable nutrients for your health.

Choose Your Melatonin Well

Because inferior grade melatonin is commercially available and used in many sleep supplements, it is prudent to be aware of these formulas when shopping around. Dr. Pinkus’ Sublingual Sleep contains the highest quality melatonin on the market. When you try it, you will appreciate how fast it works and how effective it is in helping you sleep. For those of you who are not problem sleepers, try Sublingual Sleep at bedtime for its antioxidant potency, ability to lower blood pressure, improve cardio health, and to help you wake up more rejuvenated.
