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%.

Zero dead in SA.
Melatonin gives me horrific dreams. I don’t remember them, but I wake up sweating with a pulse around 180.
How do you know they took the ivermectin and didn’t sell it
Flights from S.A. are banned from landing in Europe and North America. That sounds serious.
I read that as melanin…
What? There are 7 or 8 countries in south Africa where the new covid variant is growing like weeds. Did all those Africans sell their ivermectin? Whom did they sell it to? other Africans?
Ever been to Africa ? I was in Rwanda when it was hitting the fan
Maybe you were having sexy dreams.
The fact that you still believe the media is concerning.
How many dead from this variant? (Psst...zero)
People like you will destroy our Republic even further.
Covid is never going away. There has never been a successful coronavirus vaccine.
LOL, definitely not the feeling upon awakening.
Upstairs or down...
"The new variant of covid is growing like weeds in south Africa", huh. Really.
Not compared to whatever weeds you've been smoking...
You’re still falling for all of this?
Well, Melatonin certainly prevents Prosecution in US Blue Cities and States.
You have to take a ton of vitamin D too.
You’ll know you are getting enough vitamin D when you have pleasant dreams.
If you take a lot of vitamin D you need up your magnesium, So the Magic four are vitamin D, niacin, melatonin, and magnesium.
Get vitamin D and take 10 times the recommended for a week. I promise you’ll feel a difference.
Uh? Go figure. One of the therapeutic protocols calls for melatonin.
Who would have ever thought that those silenced doctors were not actually spreading misinformation?
Gee…. A dose of quarcetin , zinc, d, and melatonin just might keep the wuflu from making you feel blue.
How much were you taking? MGs?
South Africa as of 27 November 2021 — per Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center
( 89,771 deaths in South Africa / 59,308,690 population ) x 100 = 0.15 percent over twenty-three months since the Drosten PCR was coded and adopted.
0.15 percent over almost two years. The hysteria of the latest press releases is of “smallpox” caliber, but the reality is not seen. Ergo, more yelling.
Melatonin is generally safe for short-term use. Unlike with many sleep medications, with melatonin you are unlikely to become dependent, have a diminished response after repeated use (habituation), or experience a hangover effect.
The most common melatonin side effects include:
Headache
Dizziness
Nausea
Drowsiness
Other, less common melatonin side effects might include short-lasting feelings of depression, mild tremor, mild anxiety, abdominal cramps, irritability, reduced alertness, confusion or disorientation, and abnormally low blood pressure (hypotension). Because melatonin can cause daytime drowsiness, don’t drive or use machinery within five hours of taking the supplement.
In addition, melatonin supplements can interact with various medications, including:
Anticoagulants and anti-platelet drugs
Anticonvulsants
Contraceptive drugs
Diabetes medications
Medications that suppress the immune system (immunosuppressants)
Might want to read up on vitamin D toxicity if you plan to take health advice from anonymous strangers.
Thank you for the info.
