Introduction

Melatonin is an indispensable natural hormone in the human body, which controls and affects the secretion of other different hormones. When melatonin in the body decreases, various functions of the human body will be affected, and various diseases will follow. Studies have shown that the secretion of melatonin in the human body begins to decrease after middle age, and its secretion is negligible in old age. Taking enough melatonin as early as possible can improve the function of the endocrine system, enhance immunity, improve anti-stress and anti-oxidation functions, improve sleep, slow down the aging speed of the human body, and slow down the degeneration of sexual organs; melatonin can also help prevent and treat cancer , It is especially helpful for habitual insomnia.

Chemical properties

 Use

●  Used in medicine and health products, it can enhance the immune function of the human body, prevent aging and restore youth, and is a natural "sleeping pill".

●  It is a hormone secreted by the pineal body of the pituitary gland in the body. The amount of this hormone secreted is related to the light. The weaker the light, the more the secretion, and vice versa, the less it helps sleep.

●  biochemical research

●  Melatonin has complex effects on apoptotic pathways, inhibiting apoptosis in immune cells and neurons but enhancing apoptotic cell death of cancer cells. Inhibits proliferation/metastasis of breast cancer cells by inhibiting estrogen receptor action.

●  Used in medicine and health products, it can enhance the immune function of the human body and is a natural "sleeping pill"

Production method

●  Melatonin exists in the pineal gland of the mammalian brain. The general method is to freeze-dry the pineal gland of the bovine brain, grind it into powder, remove the fat with petroleum ether, mix it with deionized water to form a slurry, and perform centrifugation Finally, the supernatant was taken, extracted with an equal volume of ethyl acetate, and the extract was vacuum-dried to obtain a crude product of white melatonin, which was then recrystallized to obtain a refined product.
