Common Questions and Answers about Hormone melatonin produced
hormone
Melatonin is a hormone that's produced naturally by the pineal gland in your brain. People buy this OTC to help with insomnia and jet lag. It's thought to be more effective with the latter of those two. Some folks here swear by it, and more power to 'em. For others, including myself, it didn't do a thing. It can produce a nasty side effect of vivid and disturbing dreams for some, but I say, if sleep is a problem for you, you might as well give it a go.
Hello there,
You can try melatonin which can be bought from a food supplement store.

I just wanted your thoughts and experiences with melatonin. Has anyone been given the OK to take it? Or told not to? I figured since it was a natural hormone that it would be safe.

Give your mother 5 mg. of melatonin half an hour before she wants to go to sleep. Melatonin is naturally produced in the body and helps establish the normal sleep/wake pattern.

Hi,
The testosterone is mainly produced in the testes, so, if there is any functional problem with the testes, they will not be able to produce the hormone. Also, the LH hormone produced by the pituitary is the trigger for testes to produce testosterone, so if the brain does not produce enough LH, then also an otherwise functional testes will not produce enough hormone.
So as to my original question - is there any danger in supplimenting this hormone? I dont see how its different than other hormones (testosterone, melatonin, both of which can cause your body to stop producing if you inject too much).
Can anyone point me to some info that shows this is not anything to worry about?
