Melatonin Insights

Melatonin, produced by the pineal gland, plays a crucial role in regulating sleepiness and influencing puberty through its inhibition of gonadotropin-releasing hormone. Contrary to popular myths, the pineal does not undergo calcification, nor does it produce significant amounts of DMT. High levels of melatonin can drastically affect reproductive health in seasonal breeders, highlighting its powerful impact on hormone regulation.
