New breakthroughs in melatonin benefits
The hormone melatonin is often promoted for its functions as
a sleep aid, a remedy for jet lag and for anti-aging. Melatonin is known to
play an important role in regulating the body clock’s natural wake-sleep cycle.
Therefore B’Young can function both as a product that promotes high quality
sleep and relaxation and also to slow the aging process by promoting the
natural synthesis of melatonin with their useful roles as important
antioxidants. However, latest research indicates that the health benefits of
melatonin are no longer restricted to their traditional functions as sleeping
aids and antioxidants. Melatonin can actually do more. In 2004, neuroscience
researchers from Harvard Medical School’s division of sleep discovered that
melatonin may also help in maintaining healthy blood pressure. There have been
many report that people with high blood pressure often have suppressed
night-time melatonin levels. The neuroscientist actually discovered that
subject with high blood pressure have actual anatomical disturbances of their
biological clock. Scientist from the Netherland Institute for Brain Research
had also discovered similar findings that patients who take repeated melatonin
had lower night-time blood pressure, while
a single dose of melatonin had no effect. It was then suggested that the
biological clock might be a mechanism involved in the blood pressure reduction.
More breakthrough research finding especially on the use of melatonin in the
medical application are on the way. These include the roles of melatonin in
reducing stroke damage and to inhibiting the process of forming the amyloid
protein bundles seen in Alzheimer’s disease even through more studies are
required before concrete conclusion can be drawn from these findings.
B”young is completely composed of natural plant based food
components and rely on the natural synthesis of melatonin to produce the
required levels of melatonin suitable for healthy consumption. In a study
conducted by the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, October
2001, it was found that only a very small amount of around 0.3mg of melatonin
is needed to help adults fall asleep and return to sleep after waking up during
the night. B’Young is designed to produce just the required amounts of
naturally synthesized melatonin required by the body.
In contrast, synthetic melatonin supplements generally
produce significantly higher doses of melatonin, usually in excess of 3 mg and
may be detrimental to the body. This means consumers of B’Young can safely
enjoy the benefits of natural melatonin synthesis without having to worry about
the safety aspects, health benefits and Halal status present in most synthetic
melatonin supplements. This is why consumers today have a better alternative
for safer and natural melatonin synthesis in the body by consuming the better,
proven and all-natural plant based functional food beverage – B’Young Advance
Functional Beverage!

What is Melatonin?
Melatonin (N-acetyl – 5 – methoxytryptamine), synthesized
from the amino acid tryptophan, is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in
the brain. The good news is that there are certain foods which actually contain
melatonin, with the highest food content of melatonin discovered in food such
as oats containing on average between 1000 to 1800 picogram of melatonin per
gram (1,000,000 picogram = 1 mg), Ginger, tomatoes, banana and barley were
similarly analysed and found to have on average about 500 picogram per gram.
The minute amount of melatonin in such foods indicate that a very large amount
of food containing melatonin or its precursors is needed to be consumed in
order to obtain the required levels of melatonin daily. As an example, in order
to yield just one mg of melatonin would require the consumption of more than 20
bowls of oats! The typical level of recommended melatonin for daily supplement
is 3 mg.
Melatonin is available in dietary supplement form (not in
Malaysia) such as pills and tablets. Most of these are synthetically
manufactured and only a handful is derived from natural sources, i.e animal
glands. The problem with this pills and tablets are clea; synthetic melatonin
is classified and regulated as drug in certain countries and its sale is not
permitted in many countries. It is available in Thailand and Singapore as
dietary supplement, but regulated as drug in the European Union. Naturally
derived melatonin such as those extracted from animal glands carry the concern
for potential infection with the prion that causes Mad Cow Disease and remain
an issue over its suitability for Muslims to consume.
As a result of this, there has been a need for making
available products that promote the natural synthesis of melatonin in the body,
with having to consume melatonin supplements as aforesaid. In this light, the
advanced formulation and successful development of the highly popular and unique
functional food beverage – B’Young Advance Functional Beverage by Zhulian
provides a timely and acceptable natural food source that is among others, high
in tryptophan, vitamin B6, noni joice extract, enzymes, calcium and also
natural plant extracts that are rich in melatonin.
B’Young is designed to
supply the body with vital melatonin precursors in the daytime that are
converted to melatonin during typical bedtime hours and reaches its maximum
around 4 a.m in the morning.
The B’Young “Night” sachet is design to overcome
the blood-brain barrier to enable tryptophan, a relatively large amino acid, to
easily enter the brain for natural melatonin synthesis. This is the main reason
for recommending the B’Young “Night” sachets to be taken 1 hour before bedtime.
