Melatonin: Nature’s Key to Better Sleep, Recovery, and Longevity

By Sonia Pérez Canales – CEO and Founder of Genetic Factor Longevity.

Based on studies showing how melatonin regulates sleep, helps repair DNA, and exhibits antioxidant and immunomodulatory activity, with implications for longevity.

What is melatonin and why is it key in the longevity process?

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the body in the pineal gland, primarily at night. Its best-known function is regulating the sleep-wake cycle, but science has now shown that its role goes far beyond rest.

At Genetic Factor Longevity, we consider it an essential molecule for longevity because it directly influences processes such as cellular repair, reduction of oxidative stress, and synchronization of the internal biological clock.

How does melatonin act at the cellular level?

During deep sleep, essential regenerative processes are activated: hormone production, brain detoxification, tissue repair, and memory consolidation. Melatonin orchestrates these processes through its roles as an antioxidant and chronoregulator.

• Protects DNA against free radicals.

• Modulates systemic inflammation.

• Regulates genes such as TP53, involved in cellular repair and mutation prevention.

• Synchronizes circadian rhythms, improving immune, hormonal, and digestive system function.

Proven benefits of melatonin combined with relaxing plants

✔️ Improves sleep quality and depth.
✔️ Supports nighttime cellular regeneration.
✔️ Acts as a powerful antioxidant throughout the body.
✔️ Strengthens immunity and regulates cortisol levels.
✔️ Reduces nervousness and promotes relaxation thanks to valerian and California poppy.
✔️ Supports hormonal balance (especially during menopause and aging).

Why is our melatonin different?

At Genetic Factor Longevity, we’ve formulated a smart combination that blends pure melatonin with standardized extracts of two plants recognized for their natural sedative effects:

• 🌸 California poppy (90 mg): a plant with mild anxiolytic and calming properties.

• 🌿 Valerian (80 mg): traditionally used to promote deep, sustained sleep.

• 🌙 Melatonin (1.95 mg): a physiological, potent, and well-tolerated dose.

Additionally, we use plant-based capsules without unnecessary additives, manufactured in Spain under pharmaceutical standards.

Who do we recommend this combination for?

This supplement is ideal for:

• People with occasional or chronic insomnia.

• Those who have trouble falling asleep due to stress or mental overload.

• Older adults experiencing fragmented or non-restorative sleep.

• Individuals who suffer from nighttime anxiety or nervousness.

• Adults looking to support brain, hormonal, and immune health overnight.

How to take it?

Take 1 capsule daily, 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime.
In occasional cases of intense anxiety or jet lag, the dose can be increased to 2 capsules, always under supervision.

Melatonin and Lifestyle: Sleep as Medicine

Getting good sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s a longevity strategy. This formula helps you reconnect with your natural rhythm, restore vital energy, and activate your body’s internal healing processes.

Pair its use with early dinners, dim lighting, digital detox in the evening, and calming bedtime rituals.

This article is supported by scientific evidence on the role of melatonin not only as a sleep regulator and circadian synchronizer but also as a potent antioxidant that enhances DNA repair and may influence longevity. Recent studies show, for example, that in night-shift workers, supplementation with 3 mg improves oxidative damage repair by up to 80 %. Current reviews also highlight its anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory activity and its potential in preventing neurodegenerative diseases.
