DescriptionMelatonin is a hormone produced in the brain by the pineal gland from the amino acid tryptophan. It can be used as an antioxidant. Melatonin is involved in many biological functions such as circadian rhythm, sleep, the stress response, aging, and immunity. Melatonin's antioxidant defense system can interrupt free radical chain reactions, remove free radicals, and play an anti-aging and anti-wrinkle role. It can inhibit the production of a variety of inflammatory factors, and has the effect of eliminating inflammation and whitening spots. In addition, it can promote hair growth and care for hair.
