Melatonin in the human body is a hormone normally produced from serotonin in the cells of the pineal gland (epiphysis). It controls the sleep-wake rhythm (circadian rhythm). A low level of melatonin is associated to sleep disorders. By increasing of the age, the production of melatonin by the humand body decreases, thus reducing the average duration and depth of sleep. Shift work and intercontinental travel from one time zone to another can also alter melatonin levels and sleep quality (jet lag).
Restorative sleep is very important. Specifically for good memory and learning ability (one reason may be the influence of melatonin on the region of the brain known as the hippocampus).
In the field of food supplements, melatonin is permitted by the European Commission under Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006 with the following health claims (EFSA claims): "Melatonin helps to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep". "Melatonin helps to alleviate the subjective feeling of jet lag". The individual permitted dose and the wording of the user information are also specified here. This was preceded by relevant scientific assessments by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), published in 2010 and 2011. [37][38]
