Melatonin - Why we should think twice about using this sleep aid

from A Functional Approach with Dr. Jim Chialtas · host Jim Chialtas, DACM, L.Ac.

In this 55th episode, we discuss the use of the over-the-counter sleep aid, Melatonin. Sometimes we just need a good night of sleep and so we reach for something handy. But is that sleep aid an antihistamine, a prescription sedative, or is it a hormone like Melatonin? We will explore just how Melatonin, a hormone, works in your system, and how chronic use might actually be doing more harm than good in the long run.
