Melatonin

My daughter has been having trouble sleeping lately and her doctor told her to take Melatonin. I thought that this was for memory improvement so I went online to investigate. It seems that melatonin is used for a number of sleep disorders among other things. Taken at high doses this hormone can increase REM sleep (which is deep sleep). It is also used as a preventative for migraine and cluster headaches, as well as a treatment for seasonal affective disorder(SAD).
This is great news for my daughter who suffers from migraines, and sleep disorders, but I also found some info that is interesting for the over 40 crowd. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant. This means that it’s great for wrinkles:or getting rid of them that is! Taken in small doses it is said to be a great anti-aging tool.
Before taking this hormone I would suggest doing your own research, and speaking to your doctor or pharmacist, because of drug interactions, but it sounds relatively safe to me.
