Melatonin's Effect on Skin and Hair

Nothing is bad in melatonin except the tolerance development. If I wasn't afraid of developing tolerance to endogenous melatonin I would take huge doses of it every evening.

I find small doses work better than huge doses anyhow.

I agree. Also, slow release can be similar to small doses in effect.

So you're saying it's pretty much a free lunch?

Not sure if it'll do anything for you but it surely is safe. My SO is taking 20mg per day for years (for glioma, not insomnia, it's way too high dose to work for insomnia). She had a break from it for few months during which her tumors started regrowing, might be coincidence.

Tolerance, vivid dreams, and anxiety in some.

It seems like a free lunch because we are starving ourselves for it. We need a lot more than we produce endogenously under artificial night lighting.
