Melatonin
Melatonin is a hormone primarily produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It plays a key role in regulating the body’s internal clock, including the sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin levels naturally rise in the evening, peak overnight, and fall by morning, helping signal the body to prepare for rest. It also supports other functions such as immune response and antioxidant protection.
