Can melatonin help prevent COVID-19?
sharp health news ^ | march 2021 | sharp health news

Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by the brain to promote healthy sleep and regulate the body’s internal clock. It can also be taken in the form of a dietary supplement, and studies have shown melatonin to be effective in improving sleep and treating headaches, anxiety and other health conditions. Most recently, though, researchers have focused their attention on the effect melatonin might have on COVID-19 and the vaccines created to prevent it.

According to a Cleveland Clinic study, melatonin may help prevent COVID-19 or aid in the treatment of COVID-19 due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Researchers found that melatonin reduced the likelihood of study participants getting COVID-19 by 28%. Among Black participants — a population disproportionately affected by the disease — infection likelihood was reduced by 52%.

Growing like weeds? Yes, that’s what the US and EU governments say. All coming from the same British University that hand us the initial terrorizing luck down models.

They hate South Africa on a good day, and they need the next excuse to lock everybody down again. Need to distract from inflation and shortages and the coming winter energy shortages.

Presto! We get imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine, a new corona variant, and soon we’ll get hit with a false flag mass murder of some sort.

You’re confusing melatonin with melin.

Melatonin is used as a sleep aid. Had a friend we regularly gave Melatonin to but he still died of COVID. He was in his 80s.

You think I plan to take health advice from anonymous strangers? Evidence?

Additionally, ...how do you know I don’t know the person I responded to?

I take Melatonin and ZMA every night to sleep, plus multi-vitamins and pre-workout powder, I’m well covered.

Nothing works 100% with any serious disease.
Majority of deaths in USA are for people over age 80, and this was before covid arrived from China.

Good info for people interested in Melatonin.
I am not one of them, because I do not like taking anything man made.

I do not take any man made supplements except 1-a-day vitamin pill if I remember. My best defense against diseases is daily exercise. I began exercising at age 59, and now at 81 have much fewer health problems than during my 50’s when I had a slew of them. Daily Exercise is indeed a wonder drug.

You think I would avoid the jabs due to fear porn posted incessantly by medically unqualified anonymous posters? Not a chance. By the way I had 2 jabs 9 months ago, and both were big nothing burgers for adverse side effects. 2 weeks ago I had the booster, and again zero side effects. But I am not old haha, just a young 81 year old. Thanks to all tax payers for these free covid jabs.

Your chart is informative but ends around end of October. Wonder how it is now near end of November.

Thx. I’m only 67, time travels fast though!

I have a buddy who’s 82 and just got through a bout of bad virus. He was still working 15 hours a week outside in the 100 degree heat so he was in decent shape for it. He’s hoping for 100 too.

I started taking melatonin on suggestion from my doctor to control mild nocturnal seizures, instead of taking very heavy typical seizure drugs which interfered greatly with my daily living. It works for me and has for years now.
