yes. it is naturally in your body already. all it does is calm your mind to help you sleep. it is perfectly safe. *In animals, melatonin has been demonstrated to prevent the damage to DNA by some carcinogens, stopping the mechanism by which they cause cancer. *The antioxidant activity of melatonin may reduce damage caused by some types of Parkinson's disease, may play a role in preventing cardiac arrhythmia and may increase longevity; it has been shown to increase the average life span of mice by 20%. * In the immune system The body of research is overwhelmingly supportive of the claim that melatonin interacts with the immune system. Melatonin may help fight disease, but its true role in disease treatment is unknown. There have been very few trials designed to judge the effectiveness of melatonin in disease treatment. Most existing data are based on very small, incomplete, clinical trials. *Melatonin is an immunoregulator that enhances T cell production somewhat. When taken in conjunction with calcium, it is a very potent immunostimulator of the T cell response. Due to these immunoregulatory effects, it is used as an adjuvant in many clinical protocols. *In dreaming Many melatonin users have reported an increase in the vividness or frequency of dreams. The usual dosage range is 1-5mg, taken about 9pm to duplicate normal circadian rhythm. Its main adverse effect is that the nature of dreaming being more vivid than expected (remember, these come from the subconscious) is often felt to be unpleasant or alarming causing many to discontinue its use.
