Melatonin ZnSe – in sync with the body’s natural rhythms

What is Melatonin ZnSe?

Melatonin ZnSe is a pharmaceutical grade combination of Melatonin, Zinc, and Selenium that’s released at the optimum time: the night time peak.

Developed by world Melatonin expert Dr. Pierpaoli, Melatonin ZnSe is the only Melatonin supplement to incorporate Zinc and Selenium. These three ingredients – Melatonin, Zinc and Selenium - are renowned for their anti-ageing properties, and central to a healthy functioning immune system.

Not only does Melatonin regulate our sleeping and waking times - allowing us to get a good night’s sleep, it also works as a powerful antioxidant – key in helping the body eliminate harmful free-radicals.

Zinc contains over 200 enzymes and is one of the most important trace enzymes in the body. Selenium is a fundamental trace element that protects the body from oxidative damage. When combined and released at the right time, which is in sync with the body’s natural rhythms, it’s therefore at its most effective.

How important is Melatonin?

Produced by our Pineal Gland – a pea sized structure located in the centre of the brain – night time is the most vital for Melatonin production, and designed to regulate our sleep cycle. The release enables the body to repair damaged cells, regulate immunity, protect the hormonal system and improve our Circadian Rhythm; a cycle of the body’s hormonal and metabolic functions - linked directly to night and day.

As we age the amount of Melatonin we produce diminishes. This has been presented as a reason why young people sleep longer than older people. More Melatonin, therefore, equals better sleep, better immunity and less risk from age related conditions.

Why is the night time peak the right time?

The right time takes its cue from nature, when the body naturally produces Melatonin – at night from 1 to 3 a.m - and only from the Pineal gland at this time. Being in sync with our natural hormone function is vital for our immune system to function effectively. The Pineal Gland is like the conductor of the body’s orchestra; the Circadian rhythm - a cycle of the body’s hormonal and metabolic functions - linked directly to night and day. When our Pineal Gland tells us biologically that it’s night, our body knows it’s time to repair.

Melatonin ZnSe is designed by Dr. Pierpaoli specifically around this optimum time of release. By mirroring the body’s natural rhythm, the Pineal Gland can be protected - by delivering Melatonin to the body at the right time with Zinc and Selenium.

What makes Melatonin with Zinc and Selenium so important?

Like Melatonin, the amount of Zinc we naturally produce diminishes over time as we get older. The synergy of Zinc and Melatonin is key to the effective absorption of Zinc into the body – which has qualities to correct ageing-dependent immuno-depression, and several other hormonal and metabolic alterations typical of ageing.

Selenium is a fundamental trace element, that not only offers protection against cancer, but is also responsible for an enzymatic reaction for the synthesis of glutathione - a molecule that protects the body from oxidative damage.

Delivering these three elements in line with the night time peak of Melatonin release maximises the benefits they all provide to the body.

Clinical trials have also revealed that using Melatonin ZnSe can offer:

• Improved fertility
• Enhanced immunity
• Removal of jet-lag
• Easier adaptability to shift/ night work
• Alleviation of menopause symptoms
• Advantages to those suffering from senility and dementias
• An effective sleep disorder remedy
• Improved/ deeper sleep patterns
• Normalised circadian rhythms
• Improvements to Syndrome X (associated with chest pain and heart problems)
• A greater sense of well being

Other Benefits of Melatonin ZnSe

Trials of Melatonin ZnSe to treat the most common eye disorder associated with ageing - AMD ( age related macular degeneration ) – have shown promising results. A trial involving 100 patients suffering from AMD (a leading cause of blindness) revealed that taking a daily 3mg dose of Melatonin Zn se for six months halted their progression of AMD. Furthermore, patients continuing the course at 12 months showed reversal of AMD until the trial ended at 24 months.

Why Dr. Pierpaoli’s Melatonin ZnSe?

Dr.Walter Pierpoli is renowned for his ground breaking research into the benefits of Melatonin. So much so, that he’s been dubbed Dr. Melatonin by the industry. A World leading authority on Melatonin, he and his team are authors of all the scientific work described in the New York Times bestseller “The Melatonin Miracle”, (Simon & Schuster, New York), now translated into 17 different languages.

Dr. Peirpaoli’s Melatonin ZnSe tablets are manufactured in Switzerland and contain pharmaceutical grade Melatonin. The combination of Zinc and Selenium and the night-peak release is not to be found in other Melatonin brands.

Many Melatonin supplements have been designed to release constantly. This has the drawback of reaching a plateau that maintains an artificial level for hours - constantly mimicking the night peak. This in turn puts the Circadian cycle out of sync and therefore diminishes the effectiveness to worse than useless.

Another form - Sublingual ( dissolved under the tongue ) Melatonin - could also disrupt sleep by giving an early peak - and cease to be effective. Again this could be detrimental to the body’s natural patterns.

With Dr. Peirpaoli’s Melatonin ZnSe tablets, you’re assured of a delicately balanced combination of ingredients to maximise the many benefits of Melatonin.

Melatonin

Known chemically as N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, is a naturally occurring hormone found in animals and in some other living organisms, including algae. Circulating levels vary in a daily cycle, and melatonin is important in the regulation of the circadian rhythms of several biological functions. Many biological effects of melatonin are produced through activation of melatonin receptors, while others are due to its role as a pervasive and powerful antioxidant with a particular role in the protection of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA.
