What is the Pineal Gland?
The pineal gland is located near the center of the brain and is highly sensitive to light. Until recently, almost nothing was known about the pineal gland. Darkness signals the pineal gland to release melatonin. This important hormone has been found to play a role in sexual function, controlling the sleep cycle and energy levels in general. It is also a powerful antioxidant protecting the body from age-causing free radicals.
