Scientific studies show that taking melatonin can only help when a person’s natural melatonin production is not functioning properly, such as:
People who need to adjust the jet lag in a short time;
People who need to work alternately between day and night;
Sleep phase delay syndrome, in which sleep onset and wakefulness are shifted 3 to 6 hours later, is common in adolescence and young adults;
Patients with disturbed sleep-wake rhythms due to neurological disorders.

Melatonin is a hormone with physiological roles involved in regulating the body’s circadian rhythm and sleep. The melatonin produced by the pineal gland in the middle of the brain is called endogenous melatonin.
Some studies suggest that melatonin can improve sleep by increasing the sleep time and shortening the time to fall asleep in people with sleep disorders, but the specific mechanism is not clear.
The standards for the use of melatonin vary from country to country, and my country allows it to be used as a raw material for health food.
