Epitalon vs Melatonin

The role that the hormone melatonin plays in our body system cannot be overestimated. Not only it is
responsible for the quality of our night sleep but it also affects our waking patterns during the day.

Melatonin is a “sleep hormone” and is produced by the pineal gland located in our brain. The pineal
gland is the most important gland of our body. The so-called biological clock that regulates our circadian
rhythms.

The secretion of melatonin depends on the amount of daylight. The less light, the more melatonin is
released by the pineal gland to help us prepare for the night. It lowers the body temperature, slows
down all metabolic activity and brings relaxation. During the sleep, melatonin helps our body to restore
and refresh its powers.

Sleep disorders

Unfortunately, our modern life does not assist in the healthy running of the circadian rhythms.
Prolonged exposure to artificial lights (TVs, laptops, smartphones, etc.) has a negative impact on
melatonin release leading to different sleep disorders. The secretion of melatonin is also disrupted by jet
lag, shift work, aging, and stress.

The vast majority of people having sleep issues decide to take synthetic melatonin as a dietary
supplement or drug. Although it does resolve problems in the short-term, synthetic melatonin may have
some severe side effects in long-term use. For example, it may cause drug addiction and decrease the
level of natural melatonin in the body. Other symptoms may include dizziness, headache, nausea and/or
agitation.

Solving the problem in the core

The most effective way to restore circadian rhythms is to regulate the very secretion of hormones. It is
impossible to reach a healthy sleep regime without normalizing hormonal production and metabolism in
the pineal gland. This is why synthetic melatonin might not be the best choice as it solves the effects of a
problem and not its cause.

To eliminate the cause we need to use means that effect directly on the pineal gland and that is pineal
gland peptides. Peptides are mini-proteins found in all living organisms on Earth. Due to their natural
and close to natural origins, they do not have any side effects and do not cause any addiction.

Epitalon peptide

Epitalon – is an improved amino acid complex that contains peptides identical to ones in the pineal
gland. Epitalon was first developed by Professor V.K. Khavinson and belongs to the unique peptide group
called Khavinson peptides. Its non-hormonal composition does not have a negative impact on any of the
systems in the human body even after long-term use.

It has the following effects on overall health:

• Eliminates insomnia;
• Restores circadian rhythms;
• Beats jet lag;
• Regulates the level of natural melatonin in the body.

Epitalon vs Melatonin

Although both Epitalon and Melatonin solve similar problems, they have the following key differences.
