Melatonin is NOT Just for Sleep: It Declines with Age, Stabilizes Mitochondria, Causes Corn Crops to Increase in Size, Makes Plants Stronger to Withstand Storms, Acts Like Plant Growth Hormone

Stimulates antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase & repairs microsomal membranes. LifeWave low-level light patches stimulate natural production.

Melatonin is not just for sleep. Besides the circadian rhythm, it has ubiquitous actions on inflammatory and aging antioxidant activity, cell membrane repair, and importantly, stabilization of mitochondria.

I love melatonin, a methoxyindole (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, because we can obtain it in the US over-the-counter. In other countries, it requires a prescription. In my Guidebook to Low Back Pain, I devoted an entire chapter to melatonin - not just for sleep, but for many antiaging and antioxidant effects that were natural when we worked outdoors, away from synthetic light bulbs lacking near infrared light provided by the sun.

One of the most comprehensive reads on melatonin for everything from cardiovascular disease to cancer is here on Substack, as tweeted by Dr. Haider::
