Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland at night to regulate our circadian rhythm (sometimes called the sleep wake cycle). As we age the amount of melatonin we produce reduces resulting in many older people sleeping less and having a lower quality of sleep.

Melatonin is an extremely effective antioxidant, in fact on a molecule to molecule basis, melatonin has proved to be significantly more efficient in neutralizing the toxic hydroxyl radical than the two well-known free radical scavengers, glutathione and mannitol. Likewise, melatonin is roughly twice as effective as vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) at scavenging the peroxyl radical which is generated during lipid peroxidation.
Melatonin’s effect on longevity is well documented; in fact laboratory tests on rats and mice have demonstrated that melatonin increased their lifespans by 20%. Experts believe melatonin is a vital anti-aging product because of its positive effect on the aging immune system, its protection of the cardiovascular system, its ability to increase growth hormone production and above all its capacity to limit free radical damage.
Age related macular degeneration (AMD) comes in two forms, wet and dry and is a notoriously difficult disorder to treat but is commonly linked to blindness.
A recent 24 month study (published in Ann. NY Acad. Sci. 1057:384-392) with 100 patients showed that after 6 months, patients taking 3mg of Melatonin Zn Se daily had halted the progression of their age related macular degeneration and at 12 months showed reversal of their AMD which continued until the trial ended at 24-months.
Melatonin (MelaMaxPro™) Testimonials
Our small 10 year old dog had a huge tumor on his left buttock. After taking one MelaMaxPro every night for the last 6 weeks the tumor has shrunk by 70%. He has very little pain now, is running around and happy. One happy dog = happy kids and wife so = a happy life.

My little x breed terrier dog is 16. About 2 months ago she had a stroke. Couldn’t walk, kept going around in circles, falling over, confused, refused food. I gave her one 60mg capsule of melatonin twice a days for 2 days, the difference was immediate. Started eating, walking ok, balance good and coherent again She slept a lot for a few days.
I then dropped the dose to one capsule for a few days, and now give her and my 12 year old German Shepard a quarter of a capsule each day. They are both bright and full of energy. Eat well and 2 walks a day.
