Re: Melatonin
This is something i did not know. Now melatonin is a triple threat.
I never thought of taking it until i was over 50... i remember when it first came out, learning a lot about the pineal gland (essentially our third eye as far as light detection and absorption) and the fact that is begins to calcify once we are past our prime. In some elderly persons, it was not even functioning in the latter few years of their life.
With all the listed benefits of the many compounds we are discovering, i would not be surprised that we can preserve the health and longevity of our glands by taking NMN, certain senolytics. I am also learning from the links posted by smokinjoe that as other hormones are, melatonin can be manufactured in our intestines.
So we have low dose melatonin and its benefits. We have the ability to preserve the function of our hormonal glands by following our protocols to extend our lifespan and healthspan and we are learning that some of this activity is happening in our gut.
I have been thinking a lot about gut health. For example how long does a gut exposed to essentially bad foods (simple carbs, aspertame, processed foods, etc.) take to recover and 'go back' to the gut biome that best serves us.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick suggests this can happen by drastically reducing our sugar intake and eating a lot of oatmeal which is known to restore our biome. And or course there are the capsules full of gut bacteria that we can take. I am not interested in having a strict diet - aside from avoiding the really bad foods, i want to enjoy eating and fasting... but i do want a healthy gut.
Overall, a healthy gut is part of the life-extension process.

Re: Melatonin
Melatonin as a supplement plays havoc with me especially the next day after unimproved sleep.
It helps in going to sleep but then seems with me to reverse the process about 3 to 4 am.
I then feel very groggy for the majority of the next day. My trial dosage was fairly high so maybe a half to 1mg could be ok?
Good health definitely “starts and finishes” in the gut.

Re: Melatonin

Re: Melatonin
I never found it much good for sleep. But it isn't expensive and I am al for telomere lengthening.
Re: Melatonin
Not sure if it would be cheaper or more expensive, but aromatherapy with lavender essential oil could be an alternative to boost melatonin with increased production in your own body... http://cms.herbalgram.org/herbclip/644/ ... aff960c87f
