Melatonin benefits and dosage: how to take it safely
Melatonin is a natural hormone that helps regulate the sleep–wake cycle. Its levels naturally rise in the evening and fall in the morning. Melatonin helps the body recognise when it is time to sleep, which is why supplements are often used to regulate a disrupted sleep rhythm, for example due to time zone differences or an irregular work schedule.
Melatonin should only be taken at the right time of day, in the evening before bed, so that the natural cycle is not disrupted. Melatonin can be used in children, but only in low doses and after consulting a doctor.
