Dubbed a sleep hormone, melatonin has been branded as a bandaid and short term fix to help you fall asleep. The health influencers told you that its dangerous because it will decrease your body's production if you supplement it. A popular quantum health neurosurgeon once made the ridiculous claim that it changes the shape of your eyeball if you take a melatonin pill, with zero clinical study to back up his claim. It turns out that melatonin is anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, and protects your mitochondria from a myraid of assaults, one of which being electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. In this episode I address the main three myths that are spread about melatonin and explain why they are wrong. I talk about how most of your melatonin is not made in your pineal gland, how simple melatonin powder is the way to go over rectal or other delivery methods, and I reference a few dozen fascinating studies that talk about the various benefits of supplementing melatonin.
