MELATONIN NATROL or N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine is a hormone found in higher animals and in some algae, in concentrations that vary according to the day/night cycle. Melatonin is synthesized from the neurotransmitter serotonin. It is produced mainly in the pineal gland and participates in a wide variety of cellular, neuroendocrine, and neurophysiological processes. One of the most outstanding characteristics regarding the pineal biosynthesis of melatonin is its variability throughout the 24-hour cycle and its precise response to changes in environmental lighting. Therefore, melatonin is considered a neurohormone produced by pinealocytes in the pineal gland (located in the diencephalon), which produces the hormone under the influence of the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus, which receives information from the retina about the daily patterns of light and darkness.
In humans, there is a constant synthesis of melatonin that decreases sharply around 30 years of age. After puberty, a calcification called "brain sand" occurs, which covers the pineal gland, but it continues to send melatonin. Recent studies observe that melatonin has, among other functions (in addition to the sleep-inducing one), the ability to reduce oxidation; therefore, melatonin deficits are almost always accompanied by the following psychological effects: insomnia and depression, while in metabolism, the melatonin deficit would seem to have as a counterpart a gradual acceleration of aging.

One of its main indications is as a sleep regulator, with a powerful antioxidant action that leads to its association with an anticancer effect.
