A Dr from the Texags site was advocating melatonin early on last year to combat covid
Looks like your mother was right!
Has the NIH recommended Ivermectin or republished any of the many studies showing it is effective against Covid?
Nope.
melatonin: 36–72 mg per day given in four divided doses

Melanin, Afrocentricity, and Pseudoscience BERNARD R. ORTIZ DE MONTELLANO Anthropology Department, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan 48228
KEY WORDS olution Melanin, Afrocentric, Pseudoscience, P-MSH, Melatonin, Ev- ABSTRACT A component of the Afrocentric movement has incorporated a theory that black people, including ancient Egyptians, have superior men- tal, physical, and paranormal powers because they have more melanin both in their skin and in their brains.
By extension it is also claimed that black people have more melatonin and P-MSH in their systems and that these compounds also contribute to the superiority of people of color over whites. In this paper, these claims are detailed and refuted.
A review of the genetics and biochemistry of human pigmentation shows that all humans have sim- ilar amounts of neuromelanin (brain melanin), and that its concentration is absolutely independent of skin color; that adult humans do not synthesize P-MSH; and that human melatonin has no clearly demonstrable physiological function and no relationship to skin color.
“Melanists” also distort human evolution by claiming that European whites are descendants of negroid albinos.
The main problems posed by this ideological movement are that it will increase the already rampant scientific illiteracy in this country, it will contribute to further widening the gap between the races, and, most importantly, it is being introduced into the public school curriculum under the guise of multicultural education.
Melatonin might also give you horrific, vivid nightmares...
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!
I tried melatonin years ago. I think it increased my bp. Anyone else have any negative side effects?
Precisely why I take it. Also, it helps me get to sleep.
look for the demonization and ridicule of melatonin to begin
and calls for only doctors to prescribe it

Melatonin was also mentioned in this Harvard Medical School article.
Melatonin activates PPAR-γ and acts as an anti-inflammatory so this finding makes sense.
Cool. I’m 68 and I had COVID last year. I was on, as a matter of habit, atorvastatin and high dose melatonin. COVID was to me a pretty bad cold, and that was it. Causation? Who knows?
Does anyone know if it’s ok to halve a melatonin pill? I have some 5mg but would rather start low. I know some meds you should do that with.
Now I understand why my tests are always negative, even though people around me have been contaminated with the virus

Might as well add it to the bucket of supplements I’m taking already.
Black privelege again. They have more melatonin in their skin.
