Melatonin is a well-known sleep help ingredient, also is an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative molecule, is protective against lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by viral and other pathogens. Melatonin is effective in critical care patients by reducing vessel permeability, anxiety, sedation use, and improving sleeping quality, which might also be beneficial for better clinical outcomes for COVID-19 patients. Notably, melatonin has a high safety profile. There is significant data showing that melatonin limits virus-related diseases and would also likely be beneficial in COVID-19 patients. Research suggests that melatonin plays other important roles in the body beyond sleep.
Taking melatonin may provide you with other health benefits as well.
1. Melatonin may support eye health
It has powerful antioxidant benefits that could help lower the risk of eye diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
In one study, scientists asked 100 people with AMD to take 3 mg daily of melatonin over 6 to 24 months. Taking melatonin daily seems to protect the retinas and delay damage from AMD, without any significant side effects.
2. May help treat stomach ulcers and heartburn.
3. May reduce symptoms of tinnitus.
4. Interestingly, researchers recommend considering taking melatonin to help reduce symptoms of significant tinnitus and help you get to sleep.
5. May help increase growth hormone levels in men.
Melatonin is an immediate-release supplement. They dissolve as soon as you take them, which instantly releases melatonin into your bloodstream. On the one hand, extended-release melatonin dissolves slowly. It gradually releases melatonin over time, which may mimic the way your body naturally makes melatonin throughout the night.
Melatonin doesn’t last in the body for long. It has a half-life of 40 to 60 minutes. The half-life is the time it takes for the body to eliminate half a drug. Typically, it takes four to five half-lives for a drug to be fully eliminated. This means melatonin will stay in the body for about 5 hours. If you stay awake during this time, you’re more likely to feel aftereffects like drowsiness. That’s why it’s recommended to avoid driving or using heavy machinery within 5 hours of taking it.
But remember, everyone metabolizes drugs differently. The total time it takes to clear will vary for each person. It depends on several factors, including:
*Age
*Caffeine intake
*Whether you smoke tobacco
*Overall health status
*Body composition
How often do you use melatonin?
You’re less likely to feel a “hangover” if you take melatonin at the right time. If you take it too late, you may feel drowsy or groggy the next day.
