Why take it?

Studies suggest that... supplements can hasten sleep and ease jet lag, without the hazards or side effects of prescription sleeping pills." Melatonin may have many other uses and has been reported to make people feel better, strengthen the immune system, and reduce free radicals in the body. Current research is underway to determine Melatonin's effect as an antioxidant, immuno-modulator in cancer, delayed sleep-phase disorders, and jet lag. Tests are still underway so there is much to still be learned about Melatonin and its effects on the human body. *

Travelers benefit greatly.

Travelers and people suffering from mild sleep disorders. According to Newsweek, a typical comment from discussion groups on the Internet is, "'Folks, I've tried Melatonin and it's great. It has ...restored my sleep cycle, given me lots of energy.'"*

The Clinical Studies on Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, and chemical toxicities is shocking, please keep reading:

The neuroprotective effects of melatonin have been tested in many different animal models. These include models of Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and chemical toxicities. The outcome of these studies provides highly promising evidence that melatonin will prove to be very important in reducing loss of neurons and glia under pathophysiological conditions. The results of clinical trials performed within the last half decade support this conclusion. Some of the major actions of melatonin are mediated at the mitochondrial level such as the action of free radical avoidance.

Are there any side effects?

According to one report, "10 percent of the users said the hormone did nothing for them, and another 10 percent complained of side effects such as nightmares, headaches, morning grogginess, mild depression, and low sex drive. In past studies, researchers have given people up to 600 to 3,000 times the usual doses - without causing any toxicity."*

What additional benefits are there and how reliable are these claims?

"In test-tube and animal experiments, researchers have found that it protects cells, strengthens the immune system, and slows the growth of some tumors." Tests with laboratory mice suggest that Melatonin might also reduce the effects of aging - but remember, these results are very preliminary. "...Some experts are appalled to see so many people toying with such a potent hormone. One concern is that high doses while causing no immediate harm, could have unknown long-term effects. 'Even one milligram, the smallest commercially available dose, is at least three times higher than the normal amount in the body.'"*

Should certain people avoid it?

Yes. "Those include women who are pregnant or nursing (since no one knows how excessive exposure to the hormone might affect a fetus or infant); people with severe allergies or autoimmune diseases (Melatonin could exacerbate such conditions by stimulating the immune system); people with immune-system cancers such as lymphoma or leukemia (for the same reason), and healthy children (who already produce it in abundance). Women trying to conceive should also think twice about taking the hormone since high doses can act as a contraceptive." As with any substance introduced into your body, if you have a medical condition, you should always consult your physician first before taking Melatonin. *

Is Melatonin Safe?

Melatonin is one of the least toxic substances known. People have taken as much as 6 grams (600 to 3000 times the normal dosage) of the substance in carefully monitored studies with no sign of toxicity. Only four complaints regarding Melatonin have been reported to the FDA (USA's Food and Drug Administration). The only consistent side effect of high doses has been drowsiness and slower reaction times. In the most extensive clinical trial to date, a high dose of 75 milligrams of Melatonin per day was given to 1400 women in the Netherlands for up to four years with no ill effects. The FDA reports that in the more than two years Melatonin has been available for sale over the counter in the United States, no alarming side effects have been reported. *
