Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland in the center of the brain and it is well known that the production and effectiveness of melatonin decrease with age. Melatonin improves the sleep pattern as well as the depth and quality of sleep and thus stimulates our immune system (it is in these deep stages of sleep our immune system is stimulated).
By being the main regulatory gland of our endocrine system, the pineal gland affects several different body functions including our immunity, body temperature, sleep cycles, growth and development. The pineal gland uses melatonin to preserve our body’s equilibrium and homeostasis.
In an article from 1997 in the “New England Journal of Medicine”, Melatonin was described as a powerful anti-oxidant and potentially beneficial for the prevention of cancer.
