Hormone Support
Melatonin is a hormone (N‑acetyl-5‑methoxytryptamine) produced especially at night in the pineal gland. Its secretion is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light. Melatonin, an indole, is synthesized from tryptophan via serotonin. The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus have melatonin receptors and melatonin may have a direct action on SCN to help influence circadian (sleep) rhythms.*  Dietary Considerations Wheat Free Dairy/ Milk Free Gluten Free Soy Free Yeast Free Sugar Free Starch Free Preservative Free Corn Free Free of Artificial Colors/Flavors Egg Free  Serving Size:4 Spray  Servings Per Container:100  Amount Per Serving Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine)1760 mcg  Other Ingredients: Natural peppermint extract, ethanol, glycerin, purified water  Directions of use: Adults: Spray 4–22 times daily under the tongue (4, 11, and 22 sprays provide approximately 1.5, 5, and 10 mg of melatonin, respectively) or as directed by your health-care practitioner.

Hormone Support Products
Your body depends upon hormones as chemical messengers. They carry messages throughout your body by traveling through your blood stream to your organs and tissues. Hormones do not work instantly, but rather over a period of time. If you are suffering from a hormone imbalance, it could have a very negative effect on important functions such as your mood, metabolism, sexual functioning and reproduction, growth and development.
Vita Living offers you hormone support supplements that are made up of amino acids and have several benefits: promote cell regeneration, muscle tissue repair, support immune system to fight against diseases, help athletes with performance and recovery, reduce body fat and boost energy, increase the natural testosterone output.
Hormones are produced by the endocrine glands. The main endocrine glands for both men and women are the pancreas, thyroid, thymus, pituitary, pineal and adrenal glands. Additionally, a woman's ovaries produce hormones, as do a man's testes. Generally speaking, a man, woman or child who has access to a healthy and balanced diet, exercises regularly and rests well will be able to enjoy good hormone balance; however, there are circumstances and conditions that can make avoiding hormone imbalance quite challenging.
One of the best ways to get a good balance of natural hormone support is to eat a balanced, whole foods diet, consisting of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, high quality protein sources, beneficial oils and plenty of pure, filtered water. One addition to the diet that is very important for hormone support is beneficial fats because hormones are made using both cholesterol and good fats. For this reason, it is very important to consume a proper amount of beneficial, non-hydrogenated oils such as virgin olive oil and/or flaxseed oil in the diet.
Additionally, it is important to avoid coming in contact with or consuming substances that mimic hormones or their building blocks. These substances can interfere with the proper production of a wide variety of hormones. In times of extreme stress or if you are unable to care for yourself as well as usual, hormone supplements may be helpful. Turn to Vita Living for the very best in hormone support products.
