Comprehensive Melatonin Profile – #4108

Description

The Comprehensive Melatonin Profile is a salivary hormone test designed to assess melatonin production and circadian rhythm patterns across multiple time points.

Unlike basic sleep tests, this panel focuses specifically on melatonin secretion timing and amplitude, helping identify disruptions in the body’s internal clock.

👉 As shown in the report, melatonin is measured at morning, afternoon, and nighttime peak (2–3 AM) to evaluate circadian rhythm integrity

🔬 What This Test Measures

1. Melatonin Rhythm

• Morning (7–9 AM)
• Afternoon (3–5 PM)
• Night peak (2:30–3:30 AM)

👉 Tracks full daily melatonin curve

🧠 Clinical Insights

• Evaluates circadian rhythm disruption
• Identifies delayed or suppressed melatonin release
• Helps diagnose sleep–wake cycle disorders
• Assesses biological clock misalignment

👤 Who Should Consider This Test

• Insomnia or poor sleep timing
• Shift workers or jet lag
• Difficulty falling asleep
• Circadian rhythm disorders

⚠️ Limitations

• ❌ No cortisol or adrenal assessment
• ❌ No sex hormone analysis
• ❌ Limited to melatonin only

🔷 Key Clinical Insight

👉 This test answers:
“Is my body clock (circadian rhythm) functioning properly?”

🔷 Final Summary

This is a targeted circadian rhythm test, ideal when the primary issue is sleep timing and melatonin dysfunction, not broader hormonal imbalance.
