The Effects of Melatonin on Mitochondria

If you supplement with melatonin, it can also enter cells and get into the mitochondria as well. We feel that the pineal gland probably produces 5% or less of the total melatonin in the body. It's a very small organ. It's primarily produced at night. Every other cell in your body has mitochondria and presumably are capable of reducing or producing synthesizing melatonin.
