Did you know there are TWO types of melatoninā¦
and the supplement isnāt one of them?
When we talk about melatonin, most people think:š¤ Sleepš Supplements
But hereās the truth: melatonin is not just a sleep hormone, and you donāt need to supplement it. Why?
Because your body produces its own melatonin in two forms:1ļøā£ Pineal Melatonin:
-Made in darkness, about 5% of total melatonin.
-Acts as a circadian signal of darkness at night.
-Triggers repair (autophagy & apoptosis) as the bodyās master antioxidant.
2ļøā£ Cellular Melatonin:
-Makes up 95% of your total melatonin.
-Produced during the day for local repair, healing, and reducing inflammation.
Hereās the kicker:š Melatonin production depends on sunlight.š” Blue light suppresses its function.
Modern livingāthink screens, artificial lighting, and lack of outdoor timeāis wreaking havoc on both forms of melatonin.
The fix?⨠Wear orange-tinted blue blockers in the early AM and after sunset.⨠Get outside for sunrise, morning sun, and sunset.
By protecting and supporting your natural melatonin production, youāre setting the stage for better repair, regeneration, and overall health.
Are you prioritizing your melatonin?
