Dr. Reiter — Melatonin Better Than Expected

"Absolute BANGER of a presentation about melatonin by Dr. Reiter." — First @MelatoninEra post, July 2025. Still correct.

Key Takeaways

ALAN is catastrophic: Artificial light at night suppresses melatonin; chronic suppression is linked to increased cancer risk in epidemiological and mechanistic studies.
Not just pineal: Every cell has machinery to produce melatonin; mitochondrial synthesis is the frontier.
Antioxidant hierarchy: Melatonin and its metabolites (AFMK, AMK) form a cascade more potent than classic antioxidants.
Under-dosed by culture: Public fears high doses; toxicology doesn't support the fear.
