@RealStrongLegs @kusanagiFPS where are you getting your information from? as far as I'm aware nearly every clinical trial done has shown that melatonin for both short and long term use has no serious adverse effects. https://t.co/I6oHXnyrAU

@RookEldritch @DennisDemori @jackhilbrich Melatonin doesn't really work like that. Many believe it's a hormone, but technically, it's not. It's produced and utilized in mitochondria, not just the pineal gland. There have been no reports of serious adverse side effects, even in extreme dosages: https://t.co/fuX6CwJhA4

@aimeeasmr Melatonin is often regulated because we're still studying it's long term effects in young people~! Dosage and timing is also critical for it to be effective, so Docs help with that part~ I hate it when people make claims without a source so here is one~! https://t.co/FXl0WFXQnB
