Function
It is important in the regulation of the circadian rhythms of several biological functions. The primary motivation for the use of melatonin as a supplement may be as a natural aid to better sleep. 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. Melatonin is available as a dietary supplement.
