General Health Information

Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone scientists believe “sets the
clock” in everyone’s cycle of sleeping and waking. It increases in the
evening as sunlight diminishes and decreases in the morning as sunlight
returns. Melatonin
is produced by an organ at the base of the brain called the pineal
gland. If you have been taking melatonin for insomnia and you haven’t
been getting the expected results, the problem may be a shortage of
magnesium. Especially if you also experience delayed sleep, cluster
headaches, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, or asthma, a minimal
dosage of magnesium may be what is required to help melatonin reset
your body clock for restful sleep.
