I recall seeing a book a few years ago called something like "The Melatonin Miracle" or something along those lines. It was written by a group of doctors in Virginia, and likened Melatonin to a fountain of youth. Of course this angle has been attributed to many substances, none of which have turned back the clock.
I use melatonin occasionally to shut off an overactive mind, especially when I've had a coffee, and to occasionally reset my internal clock. Your body makes melatonin, and supposedly makes less as you age. Considering that commercial supplements are made from tryptophan, and a big dose of tryptophan is coming to many people on Thanksgiving, I wondered what folks might have to say.
Does anyone take Melatonin? How and why? And does anyone eat turkey on purpose for the tryptophan?
