How It Works:
Melatonin is a natural compound produced by the pineal gland (located in the center of the brain). It is vitally important to health when you consider three factors: aging, energy and sleep. As people age, they produce less melatonin. Melatonin can help restore the bodys natural sleep rhythm. Used as directed, it may help you feel more alert and satisfied after a full night of rest. Melatonin acts as a powerful antioxidant. Ginkgo biloba leaves may aid circulation to the brain. Eleuthero may have a calming effect on the nervous system.

American physician Aaron Lerner first discovered melatonin in 1958 when he and colleagues at Yale University were studying brain health. They gave it the name melatonin because it could lighten the color of frog skin.
Vitamin E was discovered in 1922 by Herbert Evans and Katharine Bishop. Twenty or so years later, researchers found that this nutrient has the ability to protect against oxidation.
Eleuthero root (AKA devil’s shrub, wild pepper and Russian root) is native to southeastern Russia and northern China. It has been used traditionally for 2,000 years.
The ginkgo tree is one of the oldest in the world! And ginkgo leaf has been a big part of Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Today, this unique, fan-shaped leaf is used to protect against oxidative stress, and to support the cardiovascular system and the brain.
