The general cause of insomnia is insufficient secretion of melatonin in the body. When the human body lacks melatonin, it can be supplemented by exogenous sources. The most common thing is to increase the secretion of melatonin, shorten the time to fall asleep at night, and make people fall asleep quickly.
What is the harm of taking melatonin fudge for a long time? First, it can be said that taking any medicine for a long time will be harmful to the health. Long-term use of melatonin will lead to abnormal contraction of blood supply to the brain, which will affect the lack of blood supply to the brain and increase the risk of stroke.
Second, melatonin fudge mainly acts on gonadal hormones. Long-term use will affect the reproductive health of men and women. Long-term use by women will lead to the decrease of estrogen and progesterone content in women, while long-term use by men will lead to the decrease of androgen content. Melatonin fudge will release a variety of prolactin, leading to male and female infertility.
Third, melatonin fudge has a calming effect, thus promoting sleep, but long-term use or excessive use will affect people's mental state, but it will make people's mental state worse. After a long time, it will increase the chance of suffering from depression.
It can be seen that although melatonin fudge is helpful to sleep, it cannot be used as a sleeping pill. Melatonin fudge has no therapeutic effect on insomnia, and can't replace drugs to treat insomnia. People who often suffer from insomnia had better not rely on drugs for a long time. They should go to the hospital for examination in time and choose professional treatment under the guidance of doctors. Any drug taken for a long time will have certain side effects on the body.
