[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Melatonin causes increased heart failure. Look into magnesium instead. [/quote]

Yes we stopped. The new studies that just came out this week are highly concerning. Much more than the others. A 90% increase in heart failure is not worth it. On top my kid already takes a stimulant which is known for heart issues. [/quote]

Which studies came out? There is an unpublished, not peer reviewed study that is getting a lot of media coverage and the lead author basically admits it is inconclusive and his main motivation for doing the study is to promote more research on this. The unpublished study doesn't actually show anything.[/quote]

Not the pp, but I have always read increasing melatonin can increase heart issues. Over 5 years ago. So if studies are coming out now for more studies to be done, why keep giving it and wait to see?

For me, it gave me vivid dreams and heart palpitations. I’m definitely not going to offer it to my child when there are so many other supplements that are much safer. [/quote]
