Optimal Melatonin Dosage: Finding the Goldilocks Principle
Optimal melatonin dosage is essential, with 0.3 milligrams considered a 'sweet spot' for most individuals. More is not always better, and exceeding physiological doses is unnecessary. The interaction of melatonin with antioxidants like vitamin C underscores the importance of finding the right balance. Factors influencing the ideal dosage include age, gender, and individual needs. Recommendations generally fall between 0.1 to 1 milligram, with 0.3 to 0.5 milligrams being common. While some medical conditions may require higher doses for specified periods, long-term safety evaluations suggest moderation in supplementation. Clinical supervision is advisable for melatonin usage, especially in the context of individual health profiles.
