We make our own melanin from the amino acid tyrosine.

Reply:melatonin is a hormone that is responsible for the body's circardian rhythm (biological clock) that tells us when to sleep and wake up. this is produced in the pineal gland.





melanin is a pigment produced by the melanocytes in the stratum basale of the epidermis of the skin. the amount of melanin produced by the body depends upon the gene you have inherited from your parents.
