Melatonin
Reset your body's internal clock
Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by your pineal gland in response to darkness. It signals to your body that it's time to sleep. Supplemental melatonin is particularly useful for resetting disrupted sleep cycles, managing jet lag, and helping older adults whose natural melatonin production has declined.
