. Melatonin is a commercial name sold in China. Melatonin and brain gold are not a substance at all, and there is no similarity in chemical properties and physiological functions.
Melatonnin has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on improving sleep (note: it is only auxiliary, not universally applicable, and many people have no effect after taking it), and other side effects are unknown (note: side effects are unknown).
The above is a scientific statement, which is neither good nor bad, because it has certain commercial value and involves the interests of a certain group, and it cannot be killed with one stick; Because the study period is not long and there is no systematic statistical data, the side effects are unknown. Some compounds are used on a large scale as soon as they are found to be effective in treating a certain disease (as long as there are no obvious side effects, because they have commercial value), and then after decades of use, suddenly there will be some research results that say that there are serious chronic side effects, and there may be some research results that say that other chronic diseases can be treated.
For example, if it was in the 1920s, cigarettes could also be called health care products. What effect would it have? At that time, smoking was not considered harmful, and tobacco had great commercial value. ) So, 50 years later, there are many detailed statistical research data. Research data show that smoking does lead to a high incidence of lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases, and then smoking is harmful. Sometimes if you say something harmful, you must have long-term detailed research and statistics. Otherwise, the vested interests or the patentee will sue you to death and you will be penniless. Maybe there will be more despicable means, because you have touched the interests of others and ruined their jobs. This is why Melatonnin is said to have "unknown other side effects", so it is best not to eat these compounds.
Melatonnin is a synthetic compound, and its production is approved as a health care product, not a nutritional product. Cordyceps, ginseng and royal jelly are considered as nutritional components.
In the United States, melatonin is a small pill in a bottle. Each tablet contains 3 mg of active ingredients, and each bottle contains 65,438+000 ~ 300 tablets. It is relatively cheap to sell. 300 tablets are about a few dollars a bottle (not more than 10 yuan), and a bottle of melatonin has more than five bottles of melatonin. The so-called "youth health care products" in advertisements are absolutely bluffing and exaggerating propaganda.
