Melatonin need to be cycled?

[deaflty0323]

Taking melatonin 2mg for sleep benefits.
Can melatonin be used everyday for long term (like months or years)
Or does it need to be cycled like 5 days on 2 days off. Or other breaks.
Any help appreciated?

No

No

So everyday with no breaks is fine?

Yes, it’s just melatonin it’s not that deep

no, and bump up the dosage

you can go into the 100s of MG safely, it reaps amazing benefits

you are buying it from the wrong places.

you can get mega-dose 50mg tabs for the same price as 2mg tabs

Long term use may cause mild hormonal effects; just make sure that if you don’t need it on a given night, not to take it, but for the most part, it’s safe to use every night.

The optimal dose for sleep onset is 5-10 mg. If you’re using tablets, take it around sunset so its effects peak closer to your bedtime.

prove it.

it's absolutely safe to take every night even up to 200mg

It is essentially a form of hormone supplementation so it can have effects, although they are usually not noticeable. I too believe that doses around 100mg have strong antioxidant effects but 5-10mg is generally sufficient

I agree with everything here except the hormonal effects

how exactly do you think it can have effects?

I have seen nothing about this

This dude just regurgitates GPT by the way, very evident from his lexis and syntax.

Melatonin doesn't need to be cycled, that's all there is to it.
If you're using extremely high doses then you will cause desensitisation, so you need to be conscious of that, but in the recommended doses, such won't occur.

Melatonin is an antioxidant.
But there's far more alternatives & I'd like to think that causes melatonin receptor desensitisation via taking extremely high amounts of melatonin will affect sleep when you are not taking it.

I believe it's because it interacts with the endocrne system. Again, no meaningful effects in typical doses
