I especially enjoyed the fact that the very first sentence of the article used the word 'naturally' so thanks for the laugh.
 Like I said in my answer above, even small doses are effective if you are worried about giving 'too much'. The only thing I would we leery of is that since it's not regulated there's no telling how much or little is in each pill, but that is true of all supplements. |
However, the discussion of "melatonin" as somehow without side-effects is disingenuous. Again, it's as natural as human growth hormone. It occurs in nature and is made by the body. That does not mean it is natural to supplement with it.
