Just a quick correction. On the white board I wrote 5HT by mistake. It should have read 5HTP. I also failed to mention that testing of melatonin supplements showed discrepancy in the stated dosage vs the actual dosage in a lot of companies.
Is it that the dosage is usually higher or lower on average? Also what can we do if we don’t have access to the supplements? Thanks for the vid
@@SleepyHugAsmr Not sure what you mean by "what can we do." If you mean with your DIET then that is a whole body issue and maybe an endocrinologist can help you. But if you mean "is there any help anywhere for sleep apnea" then this man, Austin Goh, is my go-to body person. He give an exercise that you do 2 or 3 times a day for three weeks. ruclips.net/video/JzwgpNe335o/видео.html How to Stop Sleep Apnea Naturally! He used to be a world champion in marshal arts.
Dr. Sung, what form of magnesium do you prefer for the purpose of initiating the sleep cycle? I understand that different forms of magnesium have very different effects, and bowel tolerance is an issue for many of them.
Wouldn't take it again ever l
@@ivermec-tin666 I'm liking some of the posts you've made. I did make a video on magnesium so take a look. In short if I had to choose I would take Mag L-threonate.
I'm a sleep study / oxygen specialist and everything you said is spot on. Best lecture on Melatonin I've ever seen and I have seen numerous. 👍
Thanks for you support. Best, Dr. Jin
I suffered from insomnia for years and years. Melatonin supplements didn't seem to work for me. But when I tried tart cherry juice which is high in melatonin, I started sleeping right away. Just food for thought for some of you insomniacs out there. It's clinically proven to help with insomnia.
thank you but where can i purchase tart cherry juice from in South Africa
This channel is always so informative! We are being educated by a professional but he doesn’t talk down to us. He really wants us to know how our body works and he puts graphics up,so we get a visual. I really enjoy this Dr. Thank you!!
I have been binge watching your videos so I could take notes - you make everything simple to understand while encouraging us to do more research. You have helped me understand my blood tests and how to balance my supplements. You ALWAYS surprise me when I assume I know something and Melatonin is a prime example - I didn’t think anything of it- it was a spray and I didn’t look at the mg. contents of the spray which was 4.5 mg for 3 sprays. which would always relax me but it was like a drug and I never liked my dreams. I never had a hard time going to sleep but I thought melatonin was like a vitamin for your brain when you slept. So thank you so much! !!!
Recently found your channel and loving it. Thank you!
i have been taking melatonin for 25 years. i started on 3mg for 5 years and now increased the dose to 20-30 mg. I never have bad dreams, I have a good deep sleep phase, 7 hours of sleep are sufficient and in the morning I wake up and am ready for the day. at the age of 66, apart from a few supplements and melatonin, i don't take any medication. i am very satisfied with my aging process, look younger and have no illnesses whatsoever. The latter is mainly due to my natural diet. i have never taken melatonin because of sleep, but as an anti - agiing aid. you have to take the melatonin max. 1h before you switch of the ligth. make sure your bedroom is really dark - no lights from watches, aircons, smartphones etc. the older we get, the less melatonin the pineal gland produces. children have the highest production. But from the age of 40, the output of the pineal nozzle decreases and the aging process begins rapidly
Please can you tell me where I can get to purchase this product
Amazing
Love your informative videos. Thank you
Bolo to výstižne. Som veľmi spokojná. Každý tomu rozumel. Veľmi pekne ďakujem. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you Dr Jin; I have followed some of your advices and it has helped me so much. Especially when you taught about the use of Quercetin. My allergies are under control for the first time. I have not had to take any allergy medication.
What a relief! You are making a tremendous difference for all us.
Superb video. Thanks for sharing this information. Much appreciated.

Thanks for watching.
Loving your channel. Thank you for your knowledge. What are your thoughts on NMN and pterostilbene together. I see you already have a video on resveratrol.
Excelent the way you explain everything!!!!¡ Congratulations Doc and many thanks because I'm sure that way easily reach to anybody!!
Wow, Thanks... I have a better understanding about how melatonin works
Clear explanation. Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼
Awesome video Dr !! I absolutely love how you explain things! Thank you so much!! Greetings from CT. 🙏🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, Truly enjoy watching your videos extremely informative.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the information doctor. I learned alot. Criminally underrated ! 🎉😊
I just happened upon this video and look forward to watching more. Thank you for the terrific information.
Welcome!
Dr, you're an un"Sung" hero!
Natural Infrared stimulation promotes melatonin as well. That's why looking at camp fires has it's relaxing effects
Thank you for this doctor! Can you get into how to decalcify pineal, pituitary and other glands?
Apple cider vinegar can help with decalcifying the pineal.
Boron!
@@awakeningwonderland9665 vit D3 and K2 decalcify too.
Magnesium is an antagonist to calcium
@@jtkraken23 yes, it is why we should take calcium separate from magnesium. But all the companies always sell calcium pills with magnesium together!!!
Besides, we should not take vit D3 after noon or in the evenings because vit D3 will prevent us from sleep at night.
And most calcium pills have D3 in it. And health teachers say that taking calcium citrate before bed help sleep! Well, if the bottle does not have D3 in it!
And then, the companies add strontium to the pills. If we take strontium more than 2 years, it will break the bone, just like what Fossamax does. At first, they strengthen the bones. But after 2 years, they break jawbones, small bones.
Nettle tea, bok choy, sesame seeds, collaed green ( no oxalic acid like kale) have plenty of calcium. If we eat 8 prunes a day ( boron) our bone will be strong.
Parsley has much more nutrition than kale and has no oxalic acid like kake and spinach do.
Exercise help bones.
I missed your *CLAP* to start the segment! 😄
I adore the clap at the beginning of the video it catches my attention and I think I sit a little straighter.
Excellent lesson on melatonin. It's so difficult to find dosages less than 1mg. My doctor prescribed 1mg for me and I asked her for the lowest dosage. I split the 1mg into quarters and just take one of those, so .25mg is approximately my dosage.
You meant .25 mg.
I use a pill cutter to tailor my dosage . I use a very small piece of 1mg. A crumb if you will.
We should all be talking about melatonin in mcg, not mg! (μg)
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I am 75 years old and I take extended release melatonim1.5 mg and it works great for me
Thank you so much for your videos you are very detailed extremely informative and you take your time to explain!
Could you do a video on clonidine and how it affects children with autism as my grandson takes it. It would be interesting to know what it does and how it affects them calms them down I would be very interested to find out about clonidine and it’s affects, thank you.
I’ve noticed that a supplement called glycine is really helpful for sleep quality every time I take it I have super vivid dreams
which dosage please?
👍☺️
I was able to stop my insomnia by forcing myself into eating breakfast shortly after waking up and no later than 9.00am. This corrected my entire eating pattern but also reset my metabolic processes throughout the day, releasing all the right hormones at h right time.
I have sleep apnea, but CPAP machines don't seem to work well for me. I've tried melatonin, and it works, but.... I get some of the most bizarre dreams. Which tend to wake me up. Magnesium seems to work well, especially when taken in conjunction with Chamomile tea.
Thank you Dr Jin. I have been taking 1mg melatonin at bedtime and woke up feeling tired and a bit nauseous. Maybe it’s too much
Could be
I take 3 mg, it does not bother me
Hello. I have taken Melatonin in the past, did not have good dreams. Now since I stopped I hardly ever dream. I do have several nights of tossing and turning now... Thank you for sharing...
It took about 3 months for me to start having dreams again after stopping Melatonin... and yes, the dreams were bad while I was using Melatonin.
I'm sorry that happened to you. Thanks for sharing this information.
thank you for this video. I am totally blind and have read that this hormone could be naturally deficient in people like me who's optic nerves were damaged. Any thoughts on this?
Thankyou Been taking magnesium Plus several other immune system supps .

Waking is now two aM after three hours sleep. Please advise
I don't have any sleep issues but I will take Melatonin occasionally (once a month) on days I want to sleep in. Why wakeup on a Saturday at 6:30AM when you have nothing planned.
I take melatonin if I don't feel really sleepy when I go to sleep late. Which is most of the days :) I take 1 - 2 mg which is the dose per tablet I have. To be honest I haven't noticed any adverse effects. But I'll try to limit it.
Using Vitamin A for SIGA.. Does it have to be only Retinol or can it also be R-Palmitate??
I tool once melatonin for about 2 months. It didn't make a difference, either in my sleep/non-sleep, nor did it reduce body temperature (or if it did, it must have taken hours - that's how long i tossed and turned, because of the heat)!
The worst thing for me is that I am very afraid of the dark. So I have every light turned on.
There is some emotional factor that is messing your sleep, perhaps take care of that first then you will see slowly but shortly the improvement of your sleep.
I have taken 1mg at night great sleep but I've noticed my eyes are dry in the morning, any thoughts on why.
Hi Dr. Jin W. Sung.
I'm in Hanoi Vietnam, actually, the doctor's videos are similar to my way of thinking. I healed myself by studying hormones and the body to save myself.
Your videos are scientific and helpful.
Can the doctor answer the following question?
How to be healthy when born with congenital neural tube syndrome, and inherited fever leading to malnutrition? Does malnutrition affect growth in old age? Does azaimer's disease cause intellectual impairment?
Does fever cause sickle cell disease?
Living with the disease can increase life expectancy.

I am currently taking these 2 flowers to drink to enhance liver function. I am combined with Magnesium and Zinc.
My English is rarely used, so it's better or worse, too shy!
I’m extremely stressed anxious and depressed in the morning from 8am-6pm which gives me day time dizziness brain fog fatigue. After 6pm I feel better and more calm and all symptoms start going away. What could be the cause of this. I’m a Cov19 long hauler
Dr. Jin can I take melatonin when I went to bed already but unable to sleeping in !?
Hola Dr Jin W.Sung! Un placer conocer su canal, sería tan amable de poner subtitulos en español por favor?
Muchas gracias🙂
De nada. I don't know how to do the Spanish translation.
@@DrJinSung
Yo tampoco sé cómo se hacerlo. Supongo que alguien podría ayudarle. De todas las personas afiliadas a su canal habrá algún voluntario/a que con gusto le ayude... 🙏🌻
Have you heard Russel Reiter, University of Texas, discuss high dose melatonin and how there isn't in fact a down regulation of melatonin
interesting, thanks!
What about mouth taping or nasal strips?
Which paper/s suggest or prove that it downregulates our own melatonin production? Most specialists disagree with you as well as current research.
I have suffered from extreme insomnia for years. Have had many tests done and medications but nothing helps. Took myself off everything and exercise eat right but still no sleep not even a nap other than a few hours each night.. The sleep just never comes. Do you have any recommendations?
I suggest drinking camomile tea 3 times a day, using cbd oil 3 times a day (maybe 3 o 4 drops, depends on the concentration, last daily dose 1 or 2 more drops), 2 hours before sleep magnesium, 2 hours before sleep no screens source lights, phones, etc, because this mess the production of melatonine, SLEEP HYGIENE, meaning doing a ritual before going to be, if you don't see the results right away, stick to it till the rest of your life, habits are the strongest mind improvements ever, pray to good or some higher intelligence, just mentally pass the issue to them stating that you did your thing like the best, and now it is their time to take on this AND believe strongly that god/higher intelligence will take care of that, listen binaural sleep music (you need headphones) one hours before sleep., exercise 1 hour during the day, either cardio, walking, jogging, swimming, just go for it. Wake up and the same time and get exposed to sunlight, do not look straight to the sun, just get exposed at early hours. Don't drink anymore any caffeine/stimulant drink, maybe some decaff in the morning, after that no stimulants drinks at all, no alcohol many hours (5 or 6) before sleep.
The journey will be full of learning situations but stick to it with love and you will close this chapter.
I’m on a very limited diet after having chemotherapy recently. I mostly eat fresh fruit, and a few vegetables and tinned fish, mostly salmon and tuna. I don’t eat carbs. I had rice for the first time since my diet change and the next morning I had mild hypothermia. Thankyou for your video, it’s given me a lot of information.
What about melatonin for Alzheimer's, the sundowning symptoms?
I have learned to take a crumb of 1mg. Depending wat I consume. Like wine.. I don't sleep well at all. I used to use a 3 and 5mg. Was too much.
What about passiflora and Chamomile?
I take small doses only a few times a week. I notice I feel much better the day after i take it. I think it helps with inflammation and arthritis
If I take melatonin (1 mg time release) for more than one night in a row, I feel low, like depressed the next day.
COVID security people point the temp gun at foreheads, it is required to enter some buildings like the YMCA etc... I thought that is not good for the pineal gland, is this true?
Is 5HTP save to take? How much magnesium should one take at night for sleep?
Thank you for the information. Very helpful 🙏🏻🌹❤️
5HTP is not a hormone so it is safe but it will interact with antidepressants and St John's Wort and by interact I mean they will interact in a negative way so do not take at the same time
YO
250 to 400mg
I've tried it and didn't go well for me ,nightmares .
My husband takes 4 a night in addition two 7.5 Imovane .
I can't seem to figure out my sleep problem. I go to sleep fine, but wake up every couple of hours even with melatonin. II don't stay awake, just wake up and then go back to sleep. I also have night time hot and cold spells.
Reactive hypoglycemia and hormonal fluctuations come to mind.
@@DrJinSung I would agree with the hormonal fluctuations. I'm not familiar with reactive hypoglycemia. Thank you for your feedback. I truly enjoy your content.
I am very curious why you mention chocolate to induce sleep? it has caffeine in it. If I eat chocolate after 2pm I can't fall asleep that night until very very late. I am not drinking regular coffee either so I know for sure that chocolate affects my sleep patern
good point
Dr Sung, does magnesium help you to sleep like melatonin? Thank you for your excellent videos.
Mag makes me loopy! Lol! Like seriously high if I take more than 400 mgs. Don't know that it makes me sleepy, but silly, Yes! Great question.
try calm magnesium sleep support. works like a charm but do not use it every night
Magnesium glycinate is best option taken at night for sleep. Check into the supplement GABA as well!
@@qthesouth4697 butyrate is awesome!
I take Magnesium 250mg 2 hrs before sleep and melatonin (naturol) 1hr before sleep. I sleep 7 hrs.
If we take tryptophan will it also down regulate our receptors?
L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid
Has to be consumed as its not produced by the body. 5HTP is ideal
Melatonin did not help me get a restful sleep - in fact it gave me vivid dreams, sometimes nightmares.
Just saw a video ..melatonin as best antioxidant than glutathione and that melatonin in the mitochondria of cells causing cancer when very low..and cause lowbidy core temperature..please comment ..from dr van Berg,?
Are melatonin supplement good for chronic asthma? I'm asthmatic and I want to use melatonin but I'm afraid
I didn't have any issues with it and I've had asthma my whole life. It helped shut my brain off at night so I could fall asleep at a decent hour. I had to try 10mg before it worked, but I also have a pain condition.
@@cathyh675 thanks
Melatonin sounds like this miracle hormone. Every time I take it, I get horrible nightmares and don't feel particularly well-rested when I get up in the morning. Same thing happens to my daughter.
Doubleplus, the devil is in the dosage. It is generally more potent for fair skinned people of northern european descent. Some people find that they need to resort to microdosages to avoid nightmares and hangover. There are liquid forms available that might help you dial in the proper dose.
Other options for short term use include valerian root and catnip; as tea right before bed. Efficacy is highly variable from person to person here too. Do not take these ongoing. They can be used short term, but not ongoing.
@@ivermec-tin666 Why would it be more potent for fair-skinned people?
Thanks for sharing this information.
I've heard too that you shouldn't take it every night. I use it a few nights during PMS week when I have a hard time falling and staying asleep and my husband and I take it occasionally for a few nights when things get hectic or we feel super stressed and it helps a lot.
I do a lot of exercises and after that I feel that my body takes too long to shut off I have tried magnesium but no joy where can I find melatonin my other siblings has the same problem we all cannot sleep well it looks like it runs in the family in south Africa you cannot find melatonin can I order this product from somewhere over seas maybe I have used it years ago but it is not available in south Africa please can you assist thank you
Is it safe long term use?
Hi doctor I heard the dosage should not exceed .05mg half milligram if you take 1mg on a long term will effect your body and you can't sleep
I am unaware of anyone recommending that melatonin be taken long term in any dosage. The proper dosage is highly individual.
0.05mg is not a half a milligram BTW... It is 50 micrograms. 0.5 mg is a half a milligram (500 μg)
I have a brother in law who has had trouble sleeping for a long time. He takes melatonin to help him sleep. At first it helped but then it got to where he couldn't sleep and stayed up later and later. He developed painful muscle jerks all over his body when he laid down to sleep. Now it even happens when he is awake. Dr's don't know what is causing it. Is there any suggestions that you have to help him.
Has he tried Magnesium? Is good for sleeping, potassium is good for muscle issues, he can buy a good one in the vitamins store
He has, they have tried just about everything they could think of.
Is the lack of sleeping related to emotions?, i.e: anxiety, depression, nerves...., because if he hasn't told the whole thing to the doctor maybe they are not focusing on helping the emotional part too, what happens is that if you are facing emotional issues, which btw they are normal and temporary for everyone, this can cause you let's say anxiety, in fact the lack of sleeping can cause you that too, because you are living in fear for the future of your sleep......... maybe taking CBD oil everyday will slow him down and with the help of others supplements slowly but shortly he will be back normal sleeping, AND I always stress this: "sleep hygiene", doesn't matter what happened stick to sleep hygiene, it might not work in couple of days, but you will be on track stronger.
I was taking 5ug of Melatonin for 5 years, it messed me up... I took a nap each day, heart palpitations, consistant horrible dreams, brain fog, couldn't sleep at night w/o taking it (dependency). So, I stopped taking it and it took about 3 months to return to normal. I now wake up around 3- 4am (same problem as pre-melatonin dependency), but I can live with this problem.
Did you try tryptophan?
@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow , Yes, I tried Dr. Berg's tryptophan but it doesn't help me to get to sleep the way Melatonin does... it does help to maintain sleep but not as good as Melatonin. I don't get the bad dreams from tryptophan.
Melatonin gives me such wierd dreams
Dr, I took 1.5mg. Took 7pm then went sleep 10pm and woke up 12. I didn't get to go back to sleep until 4pm. Is dosage not enough? Yea I feel tired when I wake taking melatonin.
The general recommendation is to take it 20 minutes before bedtime. The primary effect is in inducement of a deeper sleep earlier on in the process. Some people prefer a slow release version which has longer effect.
@@ivermec-tin666 thank you doc. I got 3mg now. I just need to sleep. It's been 4 days now. I'm miserable.
@@petsnaturetv1690 If you have a bathtub, try a hot bath in epsom salts before bedtime. Epsom salts are high in magnesium. Try to stop eating at least 3 hours before bedtime. If you are not getting daily moderate exercise, consider doing so. A walk after dinner can help encourage the shift into the parasympathetic mode.
Sleep hygiene is important. Try to avoid exposure to screens, wifi, and blue light after dinner. Your bedroom should be pitch black and as free of emf as you can manage.
If you have a pill cutter, you could try cutting that pill into quarters, and start with 1/4 20 minutes before going to bed. If that doesn't work, try 1/2 pill the next night. But, waking up after 2 hours wired and tired, honestly, in your shoes, I would try valerian root or catnip tea instead.
Please, don't call me a doc. I am just a guy. I trust that you have quit caffeine.
@@ivermec-tin666 ty will try this
Melatonin is produced by the body itself. When you take it orally, won’t the body get lazy and produce less melatonin by itself?
I am vegan. Will soymilk work the same?
No it will not. Just eat the other plant foods on the list.
I need 20-30 mg before it helps me sleep.
Have you heard of Doris Lohs work? It contradicts your last statements. Would love your thoughts on this.
If you could provide a link that would be great.
I take 10 mg at night
You didn't discuss how melatonin is made in the gut at 400 times or greater than the pineal gland production and excretion and why that is. You didn't mention how melatonin and its receptors are produced throughout the body and why that is. Most importantly, you failed to mention how melatonin is produced in every mitochondria in the body and why! You didn't mention how melatonin production declines sharply with age and you did not mention the important relationship between SCFAs and melatonin in the gut!
Why aren't you making your own videos if you're so knowledgeable? Then other asshats could critique your every statement!
Very interesting. Sounds like a more thorough advanced video should be done. Or if someone really wanted to know all this they can actually read a BOOK! There's something called a "library" and you can actually get books all about melatonin.
