Melatonin is just for jetlag/otherwise shifted sleeping schedule, are people using it as an anti aging drug?

Melatonin is always made from serotonin.

Serotonin is made from tryptophan, which can also be made into niacin.

Taking tryptophan and niacin as a supplement will boost both serotonin and melatonin naturally, assuming these pathways are working properly.

However, this can be dangerous in the presence of an SSRI.
