HerbatoninPRO 3 mg is the first plant (phyto) melatonin. It is made with chlorella, alfalfa and rice with the melatonin naturally occurring within the cells of the plants used. Nearly all other melatonin is synthetically produced, often using petrochemicals. In published research, HerbatoninPRO was shown to be significantly more effective than synthetic melatonin when looking at the following markers: ORAC Antioxidant - HerbatoninPRO was 950% more effective than synthetic melatonin DPPH Free Radical Scavenging - HerbatoninPRO was 470% more effective than synthetic melatonin COX-2 Inflammation Inhibition - HerbatoninPRO was 646% more effective than synthetic melatonin ROS Cellular Damage - HerbatoninPRO was100% more effective than synthetic melatonin HerbatoninPRO is delivered in a vegetarian capsule that contains NO chemicals, excipients, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors, sucrose, yeast, dairy, soy, wheat, corn or gluten. HerbatoninPRO has natural slow-release characteristics. Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland that aids sleeping patterns and bio-rhythm regulation. It has been proven to have many health benefits including: Mild sleep disorders* Occasional sleeplessness* Synchronizes circadian rhythm through its sleep enhancing action* Counteracts jet lag* Stimulates the immune system* Acts as a potent free radical scavenger and antioxidant* Mitochondrial health and has a place in aggressive clinical usage* However, research has shown that condition related dosing is critical when using melatonin. With dosages ranging from 0.3 mg to 50 mg, melatonin has one of the broadest dosing potentials of any hormone. Too much melatonin can result in side effects ranging from potentially reducing sensitivity of receptor sites, to paradoxical responses such as making it harder to fall asleep and drowsiness the next day. On average, the body produces 0.1 mg to 0.9 mg of melatonin per day depending on age, with 0.3 mg seen as the appropriate physiological dose for general support and long term use, with higher doses such as 3 mg for more clinical applications.For a summary of all clinical research on melatonin by condition and dosing go to www.phytomelatonin.org
