Life Extension

"The innocent sleep/Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care/the death of each day's life, sore labour's bath/Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course/ Chief nourisher in life's feast…"

In his classic tragedy, Macbeth, the great playwright Shakespeare describes the benefits of a good night's sleep in glowing poetic terms. And don't we all know it - a good night's sleep feels great.

And Shakespeare's right. A good night's sleep really does rejuvenate you. And it's not just in your mind. While you're asleep, the body is able to repair tissues and restore you to your full healthy function. The body is particularly able to do this when the brain enters the deepest level of sleep.

But what if you're having trouble sleeping? What if you're experiencing sleep disorders or even insomnia? You can count a million sheep every night, but often, as we age, sleep can often elude us. This is because the body slows down its production of the hormone melatonin.

Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland at night time and regulates our daily pattern of sleeping and waking (our circadian rhythms). This important hormone also affects the depth of our sleep, allowing us to enter the most refreshing and beneficial stage of our sleep.

Age calcifies the pineal gland, which makes it slow down the production of melatonin. And lifestyle factors such as shift work on a changing schedule can prevent us reaching the deep levels of sleep. This is when the body needs a helping hand from supplements like the Life Extension Melatonin range.

The Life Extension Melatonin range of products is designed to be taken at night time to improve our quality of sleep. The Life Extension Melatonin range is very broad, with a number of dosages, delivery styles (lozenge and capsule) available. along with a delayed release subcategory within the Life Extension Melatonin range.

To take one example, the Life Extension Melatonin product "Natural Sleep Melatonin" contains 2.5 mg of instant release melatonin and 2.5 mg of timed release melatonin (which spreads the benefits of Life Extension Melatonin throughout your night), along with a host of other beneficial minerals, vitamins and extracts that work alongside the melatonin to give you an excellent night's sleep.

And you don't have to be suffering from insomnia to take any of the Life Extension Melatonin range. As these products can help anybody fall asleep quickly and easily, anybody who values a good night's sleep (i.e. everybody) can benefit from taking one of the Life Extension Melatonin range. Life Extension Melatonin products do not produce a "hangover" effect if taken as directed.
