Studies suggest that sleep disorders affect 50 million to 70 million Americans, representing approximately 20 percent of the population. Made in the pineal gland of the brain, melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythm and sleep cycle. If you have trouble sleeping or are experiencing jet lag, melatonin has the potential to get you back on track to a better night's sleep. B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that acts as a precursor to neurotransmitters like GABA, which can help calm the body down and assist with sleep.
Clinical Results: A report found that melatonin decreased sleep-onset latency and increased sleep efficiency in normal sleepers.
Some studies point to melatonin for help with disrupted circadian rhythms (such as people with jet lag or working night shifts) and for improving the sleep of those with low melatonin levels.
A few clinical studies suggest melatonin can help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and boost daytime alertness.
