Melatonin is a natural compound mainly produced by the pineal gland, with smaller amounts formed in the retina, bone marrow, thymus, and digestive system. It enters circulation and reaches all body tissues. Its production increases in darkness and decreases with light. Melatonin helps control sleep patterns and circadian rhythms through MT1 and MT2 receptors found in many organs. It also works as an antioxidant, reduces inflammation, supports immune response, and may aid in managing pain, mood disorders, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.
