Quick takeaways

  • Melanin serves as a semiconductor and can split water into essential elements like electrons and hydrogen when exposed to UV light, providing energy and antioxidant effects.
  • Melanin plays a crucial role in brain function, aiding in information processing and maintaining communication pathways, while also supporting essential brain functions through electron and oxygen provision.

Deep dives

Melanin Function as a Semiconductor and Hydrogen Generator

Melanin serves as an excellent semiconductor, playing a critical role in facilitating the transfer of information within the body. Beyond its known function of absorbing UV light, melanin can also split water into electrons, molecular oxygen, and hydrogen when exposed to UV light. This process not only provides energy but also contributes to antioxidant effects and oxygen delivery to cells and mitochondria. Additionally, melanin's ability to make and break water underscores its importance in energy production and bio-electric processes.
