WHAT IS MELATONIN?
Melatonin is one of the substances with the most evidence today in relation to better sleep conciliation 2
It is a neurotransmitter that can be produced by the body or ingested in the form of a food supplement.
Much of the production of melatonin is produced from the amino acid tryptophan through a process of reactions in the human body. Tryptophan is present in a large part of the foods consumed on a daily basis, but in many cases it is not always consumed in adequate quantities. In addition, there are many other factors that can affect falling asleep at night.
