I take 3 - 5 mg of melatonin occasionally to help me sleep. Do not recall any nightmares, but not sure about bp. I’ll monitor mornings with and without melatonin.
Actually, I thought recent rise in bp was because I wasn’t going to the gym. That mile a day on the treadmill is very good for keeping bp down. Exercise, calcium, magnesium and lots of water—supposedly the magic formula.
Might as well add it to the bucket of supplements I’m taking already.
just took bp. Off the charts for. me. Bye-bye going to gym with my water bottle.
I have read of famotidine being used.
Thank you!
If you want to care of your health, look at removing unnecessary iron from your body. I donate blood every two years. There are many reasons. Groups at higher risk for wuhan coronavirus have more stored iron.
You are not supposed to split the extended release versions. If the tablet is scored, you should be able to split it. Check the bottle for warnings against splitting.
I used to regularly split 3 mg tablets so I could take about 5mg.
Black privelege again. They have more melatonin in their skin.
Take it 60-90 minutes before you intend to go to sleep.
LOL. Yup...she always said that but we young’uns never listened....(thanks for the chuckle!)
I too sometimes take 5mg at night...and it scarily makes me almost comatose until the next morning, and then I spend a full day groggy and non-functional. The amounts suggested here (36-72mg) have to be for very severe cases of Covid.

“36 to 72 mg”
Seems like a lot, since I occasionally take 5 mg if I have trouble falling asleep.
Sounds awful. I'm groggy and non-functional if I DON'T take it, since I don't get enough sleep.
Melatonin also improves my dreams.
Sorry, Vitamin D is too cheap to solve a national health crisis.
Can’t use that.
Quick! Buy melatonin before its removed from the health food supplement stores.
dose is for hospital setting to stop or prevent cytokine storm, for intubated serious patients.
For nightly use, I’d do about 1/10th what you take
Sirt1 may enhance the antiviral efficacy of type 1 interferons by preventing hyperacetylation of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), enabling its retention in the nucleus, where it promotes transcription of interferon-inducible genes. This nuclear retention of HMGB1 may also be a mediator of the anti-inflammatory effect of melatonin therapy in COVID-19—complementing melatonin’s suppression of nuclear factor kappa B activity and upregulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2. If these speculations are correct, a nutraceutical regimen including vitamin D, zinc and melatonin supplementation may have general utility for the prevention and treatment of RNA virus infections, such as COVID-19 and influenza.

Exactly what I was thinking...

This is crazy. Vitamin C, D3, Zinc, Quercetin and Melotonin are ALL supplements I take, and have taken, for years.
I’m also 53 (just turned, today, as of 10:30 am Eastern Standard time!), I walk 5 miles a day, lift weights three times a week and love potato chips and salads.
While I’m not exactly thin (I’m a stocky little German American woman who can bench press my weight with a spotter and after a cup of coffee) my friends who are consantly demanding everyone get vaxxed for their ‘health’ also weigh closer to 300 and think a short trip to the kitchen from the couch is enough steps for the day...
For the record, I got the J&J one shot and spent 4 days with a high fever. Yes, I’m a sheep who got bullied into it because I’m not as ballsy as I’d like to think I am sometimes. Besides, my daughter, who is 18, decided to get the shot, so I figured, I’m taking what she took. She’s my baby, if she goes, I go.
