the habits, hidden environmental hazards, and common medications that may be diminishing your natural supply of melatonin. Next, he explains how you can

Finally, he provides a complete guide to melatonin supplements, including safe and effective doses, the best kind to buy, and when and how to take them.With all the suspense of a medical detective story, Melatonin reveals clue by tantalizing clue all of the amazing properties of this "hidden" wonder hormone, much the way they presented themselves to Dr. Reiter and his colleagues.

I met the author and wanted a refresher on what I heard him say. His book is right to the point with lots of references if you want to further research in detail. He has written this book in easy layman's terms with practical applications backed by the references in the back of the book.

I did find the book very helpful in understanding the various aspects of melatonin. Its action in he body and how it can be applied for better sleep.
Rating: - Excellent scientific explanations
Not an "easy" read, but lots of substance and scientific support for all the information. Dr. Reiter is a lead researcher at University of Texas San Antonio and has impeccable credentials for writing on this subject. Valuable information on a valuable topic. Even if you don't read every page, you'll probably find parts related to whatever aspect is of particular interest to you well worth reading. Excellent reference material.
