Genetic link found between melatonin secretion and ADHD symptom severity in children, offering insights into sleep, circadian rhythm, and neuroinflammation.

Melatonin is also a key regulator of body mass and energy expenditure through its interaction with MT2 receptors in adipose tissue. It also supports bone health by stimulating bone cell ...

While our bodies are designed to provide us with enough melatonin, research published in 2022 showed that Americans' use of melatonin supplements increased from 0.4% in 1999/2000 to 2.4% in 2017/2018.
