In this video, I want to talk about the benefits of melatonin. Most people see melatonin only as a sleep aid. But there are for more melatonin benefits that you need to know about.
Now, keep in mind that I’m not recommending taking melatonin-unless you are using it for a specific condition. Your body can make its own melatonin naturally.
It’s true that your melatonin levels will drop with age, but you can support them through your diet and other lifestyle choices. I’m going to get into that later in this video.
Let’s talk about the benefits of melatonin. I have 12 benefits here that you should know about:
1. Acts as a potent antioxidant
2. Improves the immune system
3. Reduced inflammation
4. Decreases headaches
5. Helps fight against cancer
6. Helps protect your brain and memory
7. Deceases LH (luteinizing hormone, which is connected to Alzheimer’s disease)
8. Improves GERD symptoms
9. Lowers anxiety
10. Helps fight depression
11. Stabilizes blood sugars
Here’s how you can improve your melatonin levels:
• Avoid light at night
• Get plenty of sun and vitamin D during the day
• Decrease your exposure to blue light in the evening
• Avoid eating before bed
• Get your glucose under control (low-carb keto diet!)
• Avoid TV before bed 0
The best food for improving melatonin are mushrooms, eggs, fish, and nuts.

Hi Dr Berg, I used Melatonin supplements & Cherry Tarte while caring for my aged Mother who suffered from Alzheimers, Uterine Cancer, High blood pressure, put her on Keto & made her walk everyday in Sunshine. When I took over her Care I was told she had 3months to live - she survived a further 5years. She regained her memory, stopped suffering from 'Sundowners syndrome & went into remission as well as normalizing her Blood pressure. I totally agree with your summation & Thankyou for putting this out there.❤
Shelly this is such powerful information to share, there is nothing quite as impactful as personal experiences being shared, thank you for sharing your experience!!
Was there anything else you did? I am caring for my mother with alzheimers and would like to try this my mom as well.
@CindyD • Hi Cindy, I excluded all bread, carbohydrates (except natural found in vegetables), all sugars including natural sugars like honey & fructose (found in fruit) & limited her carbs to 30% of her diet, increased her Fat (coconut oil & Macadamia oil I found the best as advised by Dr Gundry) intake to 40% & increased her Hydration by using the H202 protocol so her hydration levels didn't drop below 99%. I gave her high doses of Vitamin C, 1000mg a day, Magnesium 500mg (find the 1 for Brain function), Complex Vitamin B, Folic Acid & Omega 3 & 6. Vitamin C breaks down the B Complex which absorbs the Folic acid into the blood stream. I made her a Vegetable shake every morning consisting of organic Kale, Spinach, 1/2 an apple, cucumber, celery, tumeric, cinnamon, parsley, corriander, strawberries & blue berry's blended with coconut milk & cream. This helped regulate digestion, energise her for walking, clean out her Bowel, allowing much better Brain function. We walked every day for 1/ an hour morning & afternoon (she was a very sedantary person prior to my taking over her cares) This helped her sleep in conjunction with the Cherry Tarte & Melatonin supplement. I researched alot of information from many different Doctors & never instigated a new protocol without trialing it myself. I wish you all the very best Cindy, what you are doing is commendable, honorable & extremely important for both of you - it's also alot of hard work. I hope this information helps you on your Care giving journey & anyone else who needs it - Good Luck.
@Shelley Walker thank you so much for all of this information. I would love to improve her life like you did for your mother. It's heartbreaking just watching all of her memories and personality fade. Bless you!
@CindyD • You are Welcome. All the best 💖
I love how doctor Berg makes bite-size videos.
I agree. He never inflates his videos with unnecessary information on the subject and, though rarely, he is not pushing a product with a long, drawn out video.
That why I watch dr berg,s video right away when I get it .no need to wait to get some free time to watch long videos like ed others.
@@flower7341 I agree. I can watch Dr Berg as soon as they arrive, but my other favourites have to go on the 'watch later' list.
@Roberts, yeh same here!
I was just about to leave the same message
I love how you get direct to the point without dragging on the subject. Keep on going doctor!
Right, he’s Amazing
When I was in school my melatonin used to increase dramatically whenever I opened my books to study even in bright daylight. For real!
LOL! I guess I suffered from the same problem.
same here as well!
Same !!!
Same
Couldn't stay awake in class 😴😴😴narcolepsy/cataplexy
OUTSTANDING--I am 68 shortly and decades long melatonin person and I keep preaching this stuff but they only talk about sleep.
How much have you been taking?
I'm on Keto about 2yrs +. For some reason, I tend to sleep well after eating a meal. It could be a dinner or lunch meal. Sometime, my brain won't shut down at night but if i eat dinner close to my sleep time. It works so well, i can sleep deep straight to the morning.
Actually, the same goes for me. I have trouble sleeping but I find eating something almost always helps.
This is beyond great,all your explanations are so clear and understandable,keep on doing great job doctor and thank you
I love Dr. Berg's videos!! So interesting and I love his calm voice!!
LOVE that you talk about MAKING it, not TAKING it! Great info
Man Dr. Berg is on a roll when it comes to posting videos about the exact things I’m thinking about
Dr. Berg has taught me tons of good stuff about the human body and brain. Best Dr. Ever!
Your last video (about cellulite) brought me to this one. I wanted to know all these things and im glad u made this. Thanks!!
Love his dry sense of humour, usually see it in every video

Thank you for all your great informative videos ! I love the white board !
Thank you dear Dr. Berg. Wish you the best.
I am receptive to all this information. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Explained very smoothly👍
Thank you so much. So informative and useful 😊 Also would like to share my experience on sleep quality. I restricted the amount of caffeine in anyway (coffee, black tea and even chocolate-dark) and replaced them with herbal tea with Camomile. It absolutely changed my sleep quality and I could be saved from my sleepiness issues 😊 also having routine on going to bed early definitely works for me 😊
Dr. Berg to the rescue, thank you again for sharing such wonderful and precise information Dr. Berg. 🙏
Very glad to be of help.
Thank you Dr berg! I'll see you on the next video!
Thanks a Lot Dr Berg for a great video and for the advice, information and tips. 😊👍👍👍👍
Very glad to be of help.
Many thanks again Dr. Berg. Most Sincerely Angela. Aloha.
As usual.....one of the best.
Thanks Doc for your explanation that melatonin is safe..
sweetest dr ever. he talks his hand is in his packet
Amazing sharing information, thanks doc. Berg!
My pleasure.
Thank you Doctor Berg. Truly appreciate you.
Thanks. Happy to help.
I love your videos! Thank you. Also are you using a smart TV to do this presentation? I’m interested in implementing it at my office.
Thank you this información is very good for my sleeping problen.
Thank You Dr Berg!
(I sleep outside under the stars all summer, except during full moon, as the reflection from the sun is too bright and disturbs sleep;)
Good info as usual, thanks.
I have just found your work and I am interested to see how your principles relate to ME/CFS. Many thanks.
I got Melatonin Resistance I believe, taking the tablets every night for years, needing to increase dosage to get any effect... When I started Keto a few months ago I had bad insomnia for a month or so. Was a stressful period for sure, but glad I've stuck with it.
You cant take this more than a month.
Thank you so much for what you do to help us 💛
Yes sir!! See ya there (in the next video)
Good stuff :)
Salute Dr. Berg,
You are SO impressive! Thank you!
I appreciate your support! Glad to help!
Thank u so much doc for ur very informative explanation...help us a lot!!!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing
Dr Berg Thank You once again, off topic however do you know much for suggestions for natural pain relief for slipped disc pain in neck thank you
i love how whenever i think or am in the need of help on a specific topic, Dr Berg posts a video right when i need it! i pulled an all nighter, spent the night tossing and turning from 11-6:30am. i had coffee at 2pm and ive become more sensitive to the caffeine because ive restricted my coffee intake
Same here. I cut back coffee and chocolate(caffeine) after 12 noon. Solved. Caffeine can stay in your system for a long time. Keep the cups small. NO LARGE AMERICAN CUPS!!! :-) Resist the cultural nudges.
windsorpatb ugh im so happy im not the only one everyone i know drinks it till day in theday or even nighttime and they go to sleep soundly like 👀 howww
do u feel like technology/radiation and blue light kepp u up? the5g im thinking could be part of my inconsistent sleep for the past 10 months
windsorpatb or cus of vitamin A overdose over months at a time🤷♀️
thank u for making me not feel alone in this!
I had to stop drinking anything with caffeine at all or else horrible pain in my bones n no sleep whatsoever. I'm extremely sensitive to caffeine i sometimes succumb to chocolate cravings n even that hurts my sleep. I usually have to watch commentary videos on low so it sounds like blah blah blah mumbling n i fall asleep or videos that are relaxing n not highly interesting or stimulating. Hope we can find better solutions!

I love the part when he says, "a low carb diet. I think it's called umm, keto!" Lol good one! 😊
Thanks for the information. I read a COVID management protocol and it included melatonin. It gave no explanation as to why, but you said it helps your immune system. Good to know.
I wish I knew that when I had Covid. I would've been saved from all the arthritic pain that had been in remission for ten years, but came back with a vengeance with the disease. 3mcg of Melatonin over a few days made all the pain go away!
it's incredible the amount of benefits :o
Thank you Dr Berg.! 😊
My pleasure!
I was supplementing with Melatonin, Unfortunately I was forced to stop it. It caused me anxiety and tachycardia. After stopping these symptoms stopped. I will go back with low dosage. I was using 5mg.
Great video thanks, I was prescribed melatonin for sleep several years ago 6mg a night, I still take 2mg a night for the antioxidant benefits as well as sleep, got spares incase I ever get covid.
Doc I love you thank you
THANK YOU DR. BERG FOR EVERYTHING! The information in your videos helped me improve my health and overall wellbeing DRAMATICALLY! THANK YOU SO MUCH 😃
You're very welcome!
Thanks Dr Berg for the awesome, informative videos. Came here after viewing the cellulite vids to make some changes in my hips and thighs!
Great video doc, I am a 28 year old male, i have
noticed that I always wake up tired.
I bought one of those smart watches that monitor
sleep and lo and behold, my sleep did turn out to be
mostly light sleep.
Only 20% is deep sleep, the rest is split up between
REM and light sleep.
I have used 1 0 mgs of melatonin before, and
noticed that when I take them for a while, I feel my
sleep is better, never tried it with this smart watch
though, I have a question however, do you think it
would be wise to up the dose? I am thinking that if I
increaee it my sleep would be better.
I am also considering making my wife use it for her
hashimoto's.
Since it is anti-inflammatory .
Any ideas about that?
Thanks
Hi Dr Berg will supplementing with melatonin increase serotonin levels in the brain ? Im sensitive to ssri so i have been taking melatonin every night and feeling a whole lot better with my anxiety issues, thank you for your videos their very helpful
Thanks doctor
You need to check Walter Pierpaoli's work on melatonin. Melatonin declines rapidly past puberty, and it appears to boost production of several positive hormones while inhibiting excess negative hormone production. Think it also helps stop prostate tissue growth and breast tissue growth while also having anticancer activity(for nightly doses, iirc). Things like the abnormal prostate growth experienced by most men with aging could in part be due to the vast declines in melatonin production
How much and how long should melatonin be taken let’s say for general purposes? I had heard melatonin should be taken for a limited period of time. How do you determine the dosage?
Always part of the team,
Thank you Genius!!!
Excellent advice. Thank you for sharing this important information with us all. Take care & stay safe too everybody. 😷❤🙂🐶
Very glad to be of help.
@@Drberg 👍🤗😷❤🙂🐶
The only melatonin i’ve taken is low dose 300 mcg and it works really well for me.
Yes I take 750 mcg but I need away less I think , I will take 300 mcg
I'm experimenting with very high doses. Fascinating to learn that so many things we've been told about it are actually myth.
@@healing-vibe-tribe any updates I'm quite interested
@@AlitecEnterprises I'm not long into this experiment but seeing so many studies on the benefits of the high dose for brain/heart/blood sugar/etc that I am def encouraged to stay the course. Up to approx 130mg total, taken at dinner then 2 more dosings before bed.
It even has anti Covid-19 properties.
תודה רבה! נותן הרבה השראה :)
I don’t know why I’ve not been a fan of you earlier.
Thanks a lot Doctor ☺️ .. could you please make a video about ( CHRONIC TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM ) and the Treatment 😔

Hi Dr Berg Thank you so much for all you do to benefit humanity!!!!! I take 10 mg pill or 2 gummies of melatonin Daily before sleep is this dosage good? Thank you!!!!
Could you please do a video on fibromyalgia and sleep/melatonin. I'd love to get more sleep but the pain keeps me up/wakes me up. I'm also highly allergic to mushrooms. What supplements could help. I'm also 57 so I'm older. I've had fibro for nearly 25 years so I've been sleep deprived for a quarter of a century.
CBD oil could help with both.
When I am taking melatonin 5mg is not working . I have to take 10 mg .Then I am waking up with 2 or panic attacks. My heart is really working fast.
Love the hidden humor
I m having sleeping disorder since kid 😴 I m very happy with this video❤️Thank you Dr Éric Berg!!!!!
Glad you found it so helpful!
Thank you. Can I ask, why are melatonin supplements used to help skin tan?
Should mention how it's used in the mitochondria to remove free radicals.
How much would you suggest to take as a supplement on a long term basis?
Thanks! I love melatonin. My body does great with taking 2 to 3 grams at night - I’m in my 50’s. 😊
As we aged, our pineal gland will decrease its functional. So i prefer taking supplemen, and doing the tips dr.Berg allready said.
I have been on a low dose of melatonin since 1988. In 1988 I went to a sleep clinic and they found that I had a sleep apnea. I don't remember now what I read then that clued me into using it (sleep apnea research had just started then), but I've taken low doses ever since. I currently take 1 mg Melatonin per day. When I started taking melatonin 5mg tablets were available. I found that I woke up groggy and eventually found that I wouldn't wake up that way by keeping my dosage lower, 3mg works well also. Dosage and timing are important. I don't want to over-medicate. I take the melatonin about 30-45 minutes before going to bed. To get the best results you may need to make adjustments. I don't know how the "red light therapy" works for me.
Is it okay taking it long term? I took 3mg and it help me sleep but I read somewhere that melatonin should be short term only like 2mos. so I stop after 2-3mos. Now I have hard time sleeping when I stop. :(
Have you addressed your sleep apnea? It has to do with tongue falling back during sleep. Put your pillows high and keep neck up. Next, do singing and things to strengthen the tongue and jaw area.
I don’t understand the reason to use never find and address the actual cause for something. I would
Thank you very much doctor! you are very interesting and competent in your story! I watch your videos translated into Russian because I don't know English. I've reviewed all of your videos. If you know tips for the treatment of endometriosis, please share)
Hi doc, is there a blue light filter for iPads and iPhones that you would recommend? Thanks.
Thank you
My favourite keto snack is peanut butter with cucumber

Dr what about melatonin for kidney nephrons regeneration? For CKD patients
Doctor Berg when I go out must I use a protettive face cream tò prevent wrinkles and project from UV rays?
There are 8 vitamin E isomers and I currently only use gamma and delta Tocotrienol fragments... which have greater benefits than the tocopherol isomers.
Does it have to do with when to sleep? Or just the amount of it?
You should do more about Melatonin for Acid Reflux?
I has some acid reflux. I even went to the ER because I thought it might be my heart
That was almost 20 years ago. I diagnosed myself with nonceliacgluten sensitivity and stopped having it.
I haven't had diverticulitis anymore either.
I hope this helps you
Dear Dr berg, while you recommend NOT taking Melatonin supplement because it prevents the pineal gland from producing it, you still recommend food that has Melatonin to help boasting it i.e. mushrooms, eggs, fish, nuts etc.
Here is my confusion and Dilemma;
First, Why would a melatonin supplement stops the pineal gland from producing it while food rich in melatonin doesn't?
Second, Isn't the most important reason for taking Supplements is the fact that we believe that the soil being depleted NO longer give plants and animals what we think should be there? i.e vitamin C in an orange is not what it used to be hundred years ago.
Third, Applying you logic for not taking melatonin supplement because it prevents the gland from producing it, we should also stop taking vitamin D supplement, because studies found that 30 minutes of midday summer sun exposure was equivalent to consuming 10,000-20,000 IU of vitamin D, Therefore taking Vitamin D supplement can either overload the body or prevent the natural process of the Sun interaction with the cholesterol in the skin cells to produce Vitamin D.
Just some remarks. Regards
Hello Dr. Berg. My mom has rheumatoid and can’t sleep at night. She only sleeps about 4-5hrs. Even though, she turn off the light, she prepare herself to sleep but can’t sleep. She can’t do exercise because she has osteoporosis. I want to buy for her melatonin to help her sleep. Please which melatonin do u recommend for her? Thanks
Dr Berg what is considered a high dose?
Can this make you feel groggy in the morning or more tired during the day when you start taking it.
Amazing Dr Berg
I eat these foods... unsure if I should supplement or not/ what mgs? Would like all the benefits. sleep alright not great all the time....when does one know if they should supplement???? If one has an autoimmune disease would one take melatonin (because that would help the immune system)?Thanks for your help!!!
Best supplement
I'm taking melatonin now as even this video recommends it as an anti-cancer supplement (and I do have cancer). Seems like looking at your list that there are quite a few people who could benefit from it for several different reasons. Not sure if I'm taking enough. Had been doing this since Guy and Fred had it in their protocol.
How much should we take for cancer?
Start with 10mg and adjust accordingly to the drowsiness in the morning.
What if I work over night and need it to sleep ? I work from 10 pm to 6am
Fall asleep at 7am. Wake up at 1pm.
Please advise...
