Did your doctor prescribe Melatonin to you ?
As an antiaging physician I prescribe Melatonin to almost every patient of mine. I do it to improve their sleep, normalize their circadian rhythm, improve endocrine function, support Growth Hormone production.
Melatonin is powerfull antioxidant and was implicated as anti - cancer agent.
Now there is a discovery:
"Agomelatine" was the word on everyone's lips at the annual congress of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology.
This first Melatonergic ( Melatonin like acting ) antidepressant was proven to be effective in large randomized trial with no side effect issues.
It will be less likely to cause problems with sleep and sexual disfunction then Prozac like medications currently in use.
Novartis has rights to develop and market Agomelatine in the US.
As usual nobody praises Integrative physicians who use melatonin for years .
