Are you prioritizing melatonin 🧐
Did you know there are TWO types of melatonin…
and the supplement isn’t one of them?
When we talk about melatonin, most people think:💤 Sleep💊 Supplements
But here’s the truth: melatonin is not just a sleep hormone, and you don’t need to supplement it. Why?
Because your body produces its own melatonin in two forms:1️⃣ 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 body’s master antioxidant.
2️⃣ Cellular Melatonin:
-Makes up 95% of your total melatonin.
-Produced during the day for local repair, healing, and reducing inflammation.
Here’s the kicker:🌞 Melatonin production depends on sunlight.💡 Blue light suppresses its function.
Modern living—think screens, artificial lighting, and lack of outdoor time—is 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, you’re setting the stage for better repair, regeneration, and overall health.
