The Melatonin-Heart Connection: Fact or Fear?

In this episode, we dive deep into the growing conversation around melatonin—America’s favorite over-the-counter sleep aid—and its rumored effects on heart health. As melatonin use rises, so do headlines suggesting it may influence cardiovascular function. But are these claims grounded in solid science, or are they simply fear-driven misunderstandings?

We explore both sides: studies suggesting melatonin may offer protective benefits under certain conditions, and reports raising concerns about long-term high-dose use, inconsistent supplement quality, and possible interactions with the heart.
