There are different formulations of melatonin, which is the best to be bought?
Professor Walter Pierpaoli is probably the first researcher of melatonin in the world.
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a natural substance of pineal gland (hypophysis) present in all the living shapes.
The better
melatonin comes from vegetables and it is extracted from cacao.
It acts directly on sleep. It is a natural substance that determines the
cycle sleep waking in sure way.
It has to be assumed possibly half an hour before sleep; every night at the
same time to re-establish the circadian cycle (1 tablet every evening).
Zinc is one of the essential components, among the 200 enzymes in the body and one of the most relevant trace elements.
Dr. Pierpaoli Melatonina expresses the best imaginable melatonin preparation, now available as food additive and dietary supplement for anyone who wants to take advantage from this product which comes from the extraordinary scientific observations of various researchers.
Selenium is a fundamental trace element of the body too and has powerful anti-cancer effects.
Modern agriculture and alimentary habits have dramatically decreased the daily input of selenium from the diet. Selenium is essential for the enzymatic reaction responsible of the synthesis of glutathione, a powerful physiological molecule which constantly protects the body from oxidative damage.
Lack of selenium provokes a loss of the detoxication capacity of the body, immunodepression and onset of degenerative diseases and cancer.
The result is normalization of all measurable immunological and endocrine functions.
Contraindications and general suggestions:
Melatonin should not be given to healthy
children, pregnant women and lactating mothers
unless it is specifically prescribed by a physician.
There is no evidence that Melatonin could adversely influence the effects and activity of estrogens. On the contrary, melatonin increases the density of estrogen receptors in sensitive target tissues (mammary gland, womb, ovaries, etc.) and greatly improves their actions. There are no contraindications for dietary supplements containing melatonin, zinc and selenium.
Melatonin must be taken late in the evening at bedtime in order to mimic and restore the physiological night peak, which normally declines progressively during the course of aging.
Melatonin does not induce sleep but facilitates it and produces a sleep pattern, typical of children or young people.
It greatly improves the quality of sleep and it restores physical and psychological effects, with a clear improvement of morning mood and body muscle strength.
Melatonin is not a drug and it is not a cure for any disease!
Melatonin is ubiquitous in nature, cells, plants, animals, tissues and any living organism.
Milk, vegetables, cereals, rice, meat, etc., contain variable amounts of melatonin.
Melatonin cannot be considered as a classical “hormone,” although it is so-named. It does not possess any of the qualities of the classical hormones like growth hormone, cortisol, estrogens, thyroid hormones etc. It is rather a chemical mediator whose mechanism is still unknown. It modulates and controls the synthesis and secretion of all hormones within a circadian and seasonal periodicity and variability. It has been given at a huge dosage of grams daily for prolonged periods, and to 1500 women at the daily dosage of 300mg for years with no observed late side-effects and consequences.
The beneficial effects of melatonin in the
normalization of zinc levels have been
scientifically proved and constitute a basic tool
for maintenance of hormonal and immune functions and
for restoring of these functions during aging.
Daily dosages suggested for a dietary supplement:
Between 40 and 50 years of age: 1.5mg to 1 mg at bedtime (preferably at the same hour, with half an hour of tolerance).
After 50 years until 75 years of age: 1 mg at bedtime as above.
From 75 years of age: 3-6mg at bedtime as above.Pro Vision Pierpaoli
