Résumé fourni par la source

Melatonin is a dietary supplement substance widely distributed in the global market and its therapeutic use has been significantly expanded from its original use to target the jet-lag. In this report, we have discussed the current situation of the natural melatonin market, an “alternative melatonin” to chemically synthesized melatonin, with exclusive characteristics and possibilities, to focus on a more selective, eco-friendly market that orients its consumption to natural and healthy products. The different possibilities obtained melatonin from genetically modified organisms to phytomelatonin which are extracted from algae/microalgae or medicinal plants are discussed.
