What are the effects and functions of melatonin

Melatonin is also called melatonin. Many people don’t know much about this hormone. In fact, it is a substance secreted from the brain of mammals. This substance has a very good effect in regulating body rhythm, but it is secreted less during the day. However, if melatonin decreases, it will affect the quality of sleep, especially for people. The impact is very large, and it also has many other effects on our body.

Melatonin directly affects sleep. Under normal circumstances, it mainly regulates sleep phases. If melatonin is taken externally in the case of insomnia, it can have a hypnotic effect. Melatonin is a light signal hormone secreted by the pineal gland, which plays an important role in regulating the circadian rhythm and seasonal rhythm of animals as well as the body's "sleep-wake" rhythm. Under normal conditions, the body's daytime melatonin levels are relatively low. Daytime application of melatonin can reduce body temperature by 0.3-0.4℃. Bright light stimulation at night can inhibit the secretion of melatonin, increase body temperature, and reduce the amount of sleep at night. If melatonin-like substances are taken externally, they can have a rapid hypnotic effect on both animals and humans. Because sunlight and melatonin have a close relationship. When the pineal gland in the brain is stimulated by light, the secretion of melatonin is inhibited. If you have a good sunbath during the day, the release of melatonin will be inhibited, and the release of melatonin can be promoted at night, thus getting a sweet sleep.

Melatonin may have a good auxiliary therapeutic effect on tumors and AIDS, two of the most vicious enemies of mankind since the 20th century. It has anti-tumor effects. It can work synergistically with other anti-tumor drugs or methods, and can significantly reduce toxic side effects such as nausea, vomiting, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, etc. that occur during tumor treatment, prolong the patient's survival time, and improve the patient's quality of life. It may also strengthen the function of the immune system, thereby restoring the immune function of AIDS patients that has been damaged by HIV, thereby avoiding various infections caused by low immune function.

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, a tiny gland in the human body. The amount it secretes daily is extremely small, but its effect is extremely powerful. Its influence extends to every organ, tissue, and cell in the body. It particularly controls the functions of the immune system and reproductive system, two systems that are vital to survival, and it controls the entire process of human growth and development. Therefore, in this sense, it is not an exaggeration to compare it to the master of human life.

Therefore, if our body lacks this substance, insomnia will occur. In order to avoid this situation, we must expose ourselves to sunlight. Because if we are exposed to sunlight frequently, this substance can be secreted very well. If we have this substance in our body, it can delay aging, especially for female friends, they will become younger.
