Melatonin 

This hormone has been around a long time to help improve sleep. But research show that melatonin can have anti-cancer benefits too.
It’s been shown in several clinical studies to reduce side effect severity when taken along side chemotherapy and radiation. But adding melatonin to one’s daily regimen can help with survival rate and tumor regression.

How much melatonin should you take depends on your health and what your goals are.

To improve sleep, it’s generally suggested to take one to three mg of melatonin before bedtime. However, for those fighting cancer or who are in remission, human studies show that higher doses (20mg/night) can result in even higher survival rates by almost double.

It also can help minimize the negative effects of cancer treatments. 

• Decrease the level of fatigue
• Improve cognitive function (brain fog)
• Protect agains lower platelet counts and neurotoxicity
• Reduce symptoms of depression

Even if cancer is not your concern, we are exposed to so much artificial light (televisions, computers, phones, tablets, etc), that our melatonin levels can drop and our sleep cycles can be disrupted. 

Consider adding Melatonin to your supplements to help create a great night’s sleep!
