Casey, I love the science, complex indeed.. I note that the melatonin dose in these animal experiments are 100s of mg in the human equivalent.. I’ve taken 100mg melatonin with no apparent side effects.. We not talking about the pineal gland and sleep here, it’s the metabolism of multiple trillions of cells in all your organs ! Hence high dose melatonin may eventually become the medical norm…except for the fact it’s a natural supplement and can’t be a ‘medication’..

[@DrCaseyPeavler]

I personally believe the overall human cellular environment and function trump treatments. Let me expand on this. When I was doing my functional medicine training, there was a Lyme and mold specialist. He talked about how these patients had been to doctor after doctor, received antibiotics or antifungals. They never really got better. However, once he improved the other aspects of health, hormones, mitochondria, gut, etc. The symptoms were not as bothersome and the patients improved without lifelong treatment. You cannot get well in the same environment in which you got sick.

[@napaman2104]

Thank you Dr Peavler, A question and a comment. So what is the best way to get melatonin into our system? Also your videos are so very technical that i wonder if perhaps they're more intended for the medical professionals instead of a layperson such as myself.

[@DrCaseyPeavler]

If you watch the first melatonin video about boosting your endogenous melatonin production, you would likely get a lot of benefit. For most people, getting infrared exposure and true darkness at night should be more than enough

[@napaman2104]

Thank you I will watch that. I watched the one about how beneficial the sunlight is and vitamin D and I for years have been someone who gets a tremendous amount of sun without sun block despite what we've been told all these years about it being damaging. Never believed it and have always been suspicious of sunscreens or sunblock.

[@DrCaseyPeavler]

Blocking the sun is like withholding water or air. It is required for health and function.

[@raykinney9907]

@@napaman2104 Yes! This has been my approach too, but I pay a price socially. I participate in an annual reunion gathering outdoors, camping on a great swimming river in the Oregon cascade range mountains. About fifty great friends attend regularly, spending a great deal of time in sun and water.... and staring into a campfire when fire restrictions are not in effect. Two and a half weeks is a great addition for so many that seem to live indoors for much of their work lives. I feel that these are very intelligent people, yet appear to be so under informed about everything we are talking about here. I get asked if I want any sunscreen or sunglasses, when they notice, but they usually shake their heads when I decline, and move a bit away if I comment about why I don't use them. I think I become a bit of an 'environmental terrorist' suspect. Then, no hope for my credibility when they ask if I've had the latest 'booster' yet! I wonder if a better approach toward educating about all of our points might be more effectively done if we approach by talking about health benefits to our DOGS. I've noticed so much health concern exists for our pets, and people across society seem far more able to listen to any suggestions of health environmental precautions from veterinarians, that knee jerk reactions are reduced enough people listen far better. Educating vets, by supplying reattach papers might be a more effective general approach to wider education??!??

Thank you very much for all the information. I'm making sure I get my sunlight exposer, maybe an IR lamp for winter. I am 63 next month so concerned about my nighttime levels. What I started doing is applying an aloe vera/melatonin mixture I made to my face, shoulders and arms each night. It's about 200mg in the topical aloe lotion. It seems that bypassing the liver as well as transdermal delivery extends the bioavailability and duration. So far so good. I am not treating any known conditions except general aging.

[@DrCaseyPeavler]

Thank you for your feedback and sharing your concerns. Adequate sun/IR exposure and avoidance of artificial light at night should be adequate for most people for general health. However, if you have significant diseases, would do that plus supplemental melatonin in discussion with your integrative/functional doctor.

[@paulhindle3961]

@@DrCaseyPeavler Thank you Dr Peaver. I assume that even if I'm careful to avoid artificial light that as I age I will still be producing less than ideal melatonin? It sounds like melatonin is sufficiently benign that mega dosing at night as a prophylactic strategy to slow aging and avoid disease may be a reasonable risk/reward scenario.

I tried 3 mg Melatonin for sleep. Didn't noticed anything, though! But I didn't know about it's effects on the mitocondria. I wonder if supplementing with melatonin affects the bodys own production. My problem with sleep is that I have a strong tendency to prolong the awake period, and thus have a hard time to keep a stable day rhythm. Actually, it's impossible for me. I seem to have a 26 hour day! When I'm tired, I fall asleep easily and sleep pretty well.

I think for folks who do not have cancer, the best first option is maximum tolerable sun exposure and maximum darkness after sunset to boost endogenous production.

I’m not sure what you mean about Peter hydroxybutyrate, do you meant Beta? BHB is not a gene, it’s the ketone body created from the breakdown of fat and ketogenic amino acids.

At what concentration does it impart these effects? Most people take 3-5 mg of melatonin, but I suspect that you need to take in excess of 100 mg to have any of these benefits. Sure, to induce sleep you need very low concentration, but for the effects mentioned in the video it may need a totally different concentration in the body

[@DrCaseyPeavler]

Fantastic question you raise. 100mg would be crazy supraphysiologic level. Safe but clearly supraphysiologic. These processes happen even with lower melatonin levels than ideal, so would have to assume happens at sub-therapeutic, therapeutic, and supra-physiologic levels on a dose response basis. I have not see a curve or graphic to put this hypothesis into picture format, but I will be on the lookout. I do feel confident in saying you can achieve all of these benefits from endogenous production. The question is how much are you making? Adequate sun? Infrared? Darkness?

@@DrCaseyPeavler I was purely guessing. I have no data to support what I said.
