New Study Shows Potentially Harmful Effects Of Melatonin

A lot of people have had trouble falling asleep during the pandemic. Millions of insomniacs are resorting to an over-the-counter remedy, but CBS2's Dr. Max Gomez says that the melatonin you might be taking could be harmful.

I never seen a " Potentially Harmful Effects Of Benzodiazepines" or "Potentially Harmful Effects Of Opiates"

I’ve had insomnia my whole. Yet these doctors prescribe medications that are worst than melatonin with worst side effects.

[alphonsemoonflee]

Been taking it for 23 years. In great shape thanks to being able to sleep and more sprightly than many younger than myself.

So, if you take too much of it. It’s bad for you. You mean like anything else in life?

Just watch this video and you will be guaranteed to sleep halfway through it

I am a 50 year old shift worker ( 11 pm to 7 am) . I have been taking 5 mg over 12 years now. No side effects at all. It is the safest supplemental drugs. But if I take 10 mg for a week, I feel drowsiness a little bit. but it is okay

I'm sure theres something 10x more expensive that they wanna push.

It can't be any worse than the dangers associated with prescription sleep meds. If you're taking high doses (10 mgs.) Begin cutting your dosage to 5 mgs. (for 2 weeks) then further reduce it to no more than 3 mgs nightly. In the early research showed that it was safe to consume Melatonin at doses ranging between 1-3 mgs for extended periods of time. Taking this lower dose with magnesium glycinate should be very helpful.

I take 3mg of melatonin for more than ten years 😴 I'm 74 and I'm ok no side effects at all

[soonendsims]

if the FDA says its bad, then it must work

[parker]

This video is all over the place. Melatonin will make you drowsy that is the chief side effect and that is why it is an effective sleep aid. New studies say it is a great anti inflammatory as well.

😂so glad so many people see through this BS.

[goddessandcuchi]

Nonsense video...melatonin is safe up to 2000mg...we take 10 to 20 MG at night...for 2 years...we are in our 70s

[kgtnp]

Totally bs, notice everyone freaking out are not actually medical researchers

[engell]

It’s not psychoactive by any means. I call BS.

[Nickkolakowski]

Stupid story. If you take too much anything its bad for you

[LeithYearwood]

Oh and she never mentioned that melatonin is the most powerful antioxidant in the body by a factor of 10 compared to glutathione (2nd) and vit C (3rd).

[therealdutchjohnsondutchvi]

Medical industry is losing money, this is te just fighting back lol

[Rafick]

I mean I still don’t get the point of this title. Obviously if you take more than what’s being given you will have side effects. More than 10Mg a night is not good! And if the ingredient are a problem, then what kind of problem ingredients are we talking about ? No mention and only 2 minutes?!!!

[alfonsobenitez]

I wouldn't trust the FDA. FDA get money from the pharmaceutical companies to get the medicines approved.
