Rise of Melatonin Supplementation: Results, Side Effects, and Concerns
View/ Open
Abstract
This paper explores the rising interest in melatonin supplements, highlighting their potential
benefits for sleep quality amongst concerns about safety and regulation. While melatonin
naturally regulates sleep-wake cycles, synthetic supplements offer convenience but pose risks
such as interactions with medications and labeling errors. Informed decision-making, including
consulting healthcare professionals, is essential to maximize benefits while minimizing risks.
Despite promising results, further research is needed to fully understand melatonin's effects.
Therefore, a cautious and informed approach is crucial for its effective and safe use in promoting
overall wellness.
