Ep. 64 - Take Synthetic Melatonin or Boost Natural Melatonin Production?

 

Melatonin supplements have exploded in popularity in recent years, with up to 30% of Americans using them to help sleep.  Unfortunately, not all of these are happy users, as about 25% of melatonin users report experiencing morning grogginess or daytime drowsiness.
 
In this episode, Carl explains why he believes this unwanted effect happens, and why you need to be careful about how much synthetic melatonin you take and how often you use these supplements.
 
Better yet, you’ll hear about a better alternative, which is how to support your body’s own natural production of melatonin at night, while experiencing better sleep, and waking up more energized and without grogginess.
