Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
Melatonin is a neurohormone naturally produced by the pineal gland to regulate the circadian rhythm. At the cellular level, Melatonin binds to MT1 and MT2 receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain. This binding inhibits neuronal firing, signaling the body that it is time to sleep. It also acts as a potent antioxidant, scavenging free radicals to protect cellular health. The small amount of Calcium included acts as a secondary messenger, aiding in the transmission of these neural signals for muscle relaxation.
