Melatonin is a liposoluble and water soluble hormone that the organism metabolizes in a remarkably fast manner.
The production of Melatonin decreases with age. When the individual ages, the pineal gland is calcified and produces less and less Melationin. The levels of Melatonin are very abundant in children, decrease after puberty and then drop of more than 90% until the age of 70.

Melatonin is a sleep hormone that on its own won't induce sleep, and is usually only effective in short-term applications. Melatonin tells the brain that it needs to prepare for a night time and can speed up sleep preparation or to shift the body clock's sleep cycle to an earlier time. However, if melatonin is used during daytime brightness, it can have adverse effects. If the body clock is receiving conflicting daytime light signals and dark signals from melatonin, it can malfunction and not work properly when it is time to go to sleep later.

When in the body at the right time Melatonin does wonderful things, such as help the heart and vital organs rest at night. Melatonin also acts as a powerful antioxidant; while it shuts the body down, it cleans the toxins and free radicals from cells.
