Melatonin is involved in sleep regulation and the circadian rhythm [2]. However, melatonin also plays other roles in the human body as in the immune system [3], in cancers [4], and even in energy metabolism [5]. Previously, we've discussed melatonin supplementation, melatonin's anticancer potential, and its effects on depression and anxiety. In this article, we'll focus on melatonin's role in diabetes and weight loss.
Have you ever felt exhaustion dragging at your eyelids, only to find yourself wide awake staring at the ceiling as you lie in bed, not feeling sleepy at all despite being tired all day?
It's a frustrating paradox — you're feeling tired but can't sleep. This experience, known as paradoxical insomnia, affects millions of people worldwide alongside those with sleep disorders.
Melatonin is well-known for its modulation of the circadian rhythm through signaling pathways involving its two G protein-coupled receptors. However, melatonin is involved in many other mechanisms and represents therapeutic opportunities for different conditions, including anxiety and depression.
GABA, the natural brain brake, helps tone down neural activity, offering a pocket of serenity among ruminations and worries. Ashwagandha is a gift from Ayurveda that acts as a protective shield against stress and, at the same time, empowers the mind and body with its strength as an adaptogen.
Melatonin is best known in humans for its role in the circadian rhythm, but it is also involved in other processes, such as reproduction regulation and immune modulation. It is an efficient antioxidant in vitro with anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and anti-tumor properties.
Given the vitally important role of the immune system in overall health, it is crucial that its function be optimized and numerous testing methods can be used to monitor this. This article aims to enumerate these important methods and discuss how they can be used to improve or optimize immune function to promote better health.
