Love anything Dr Reiter says. Type 1 diabetic here, late 6th generation and have been taking 60mg of Pure Bulk melatonin since I first heard him talk, several years ago. Think it is time I double my dose, not because of diabetic issues ( normal A1C) or APOE4 genes ( don’t have), but because I don’t want any issues! This man is genius and I gifted my doctor his book. Even though it has been in print for years, the data remains the same, if not more favorable. Thank you for interviewing this brilliant man.
Thanks for a lovely interview. I've increased Melatonin at night from 3 to 9 mgs ( I'm 70 ) and sleep has massively improved. Yes it's a Miracle Molecule - but I'm reminded the more I look into these things that every molecule in this fantastically well designed body is a miracle !
Years ago I read the book Melatonin Miracle. It said there was a study that melatonin supplementation extended the lifespan of mice by about 30%. When I got a new golden retriever puppy, I decided to try that on my dog to see if it had a beneficial effect. Last week my golden had her 15th birthday and is doing quite well. That's especially remarkable because 2 years ago she miraculously survived a 100 foot fall off a cliff. Three years ago she got a couple of mass cell tumors within 2 months. We then put her on a keto human food diet, and she's had no tumors since then. All the golden retrievers we knew that were her age died years ago.
Thank you for sharing this information. I had a lecture from Prof Reiter that he mentioned only 5% of melatonin are secreted by the Pineal grand, which will go to our blood circulation, responsible for the circadian rhythm, but 95% melatonin in our body are made in the mitochondria within our cells, which do not release to the blood stream. Regarding the cancer development, it would be likely because of the dysfunction of the mitochondria in our cells. I am wondering how we take melatonin supplement orally can help in preventing the cancer growth, it helps in the circadian rhythm, but how it could help in the mitochondrion melatonin in the cellular level. Is it possible to get into the cells/mitochondria if we take melatonin orally? Thanks a lot !
Thanks for the comment. I think these are largely open questions. Most of the melatonin produced in the body is extrapineal. Our mitochondria appear to generate it in large quantities to deal with ROS. NIR light and exercise appear to drastically increase plasma melatonin, presumably to deal with the increase in ROS production. This plasma melatonin is then taken up by cells where it is needed. Cancer development as it relates to melatonin is tricky. A recent publication in Nature suggests that breast cancers are more active during the night when melatonin is highest (see my podcast with Daniel P. Cardinali). I believe that oral melatonin will increase plasma levels (transiently) before it is taken up by the cells. This is why melatonin is effective in metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes. I wish I had the answers, but unfortunately most of this is still up in the air. Hope that helps!
@@RicciFlowNutrition BTY, do you know Prof Thomas Seyfried, Boston College? He had done huge amount of researches on Cancers related to mitochondria dysfunction and the metabolic approach for cancer treatment. It would be very interesting if you can have interview with his and update us his works of Cancers treatments. Thank you very much. look forward to your new episode with Seyfired !!
Wonderful interview- I loved every minute of it! I think Dr. Reiter may have erred when he stated that a company located in Henderson, Nevada was a good place to get bulk melatonin, and that it was called Pure Bulk. There is a company with that name but they are located in Oregon. There is a bulk supplement company located in Henderson, Nevada that offers melatonin and their name is Bulk Supplements and I suspect that is the company Dr. Reiter was referencing.
Purebulk (in Oregon) has great customer service & provides clean supplements. I have issues with the other company in Nevada, as I have corn allergies. Also, their customer service is mean & unhelpful.
No need to take supplemental melatonin. Lights out when the sun goes down and plenty of natural light exposure during the day. Stabilise your circadian rhythm with the right cues and you won't need it. What you experience is common with the supplements.
Because of severe anxiety and panic attacks and not wanting to do SSRI one thing I found that worked wonders for me is ltryptophan , which I believe is a precursor for melatonin and it’s been studied for insomnia patients . Nothing else besides Xanax worked for me .
For me, I have used GABA, melatonin, lions mane, B3 niacin(flush Kind), Magnesium glycinate, and Lithium Orotate. Fore me that's a great stack for sleep and overall relaxation.
Thank you. I love the work of Russell Reiter. Just came across your Chanel by chance. Great interview. Thank you. I have been taking melatonin for a few years now. Getting it into nz in tablets over 5mg impossible. What are the rules in Australia??
Not the same restrictions here. It must be frustrating not being able to easily get these supplements. I don't personally take melatonin for a few reasons but I would consider possibly getting some blue blocking glasses to help your own endogenous production and release. Just a thought. Hope this helps.
@@RicciFlowNutrition I am an avid reader from years past. Family history of cancer. Been taking melatonin for a few years now plus optimal vit d blood levels and everything else we should be doing. Bought glasses some years back as well.
From what I’ve read from melatonin experts , you wake up groggy because you’re not taking enough , one of these experts in melatonin advised in 300 mg at night and if you wake up refreshed it means you needed it , and that’s exactly what happened to me , I wake up at 6 am with minimal effort , not groggy and with energy , wasn’t like that at all .
I heard he takes 100-200mg every night. Where does he get his melatonin? I know oral dose does not absorb that high, so it has to be trans-dermal or supository.

I have had mixed success with melatonin as a sleep remedy but I think it's because the half life is so short so you perhaps need timed release. I have never known how much to take. I used to get mine from USA but now they won't ship to UK anymore so I can't get it.
There is a very good supplier that ships to UK, they are from Iceland. I use these people all the time for their supplements. They have 30mg, 100mg and 200mg

Hi Christina, perhaps in the short term. It's important to consider that calcium needs to be balanced with magnesium, vitamin D and vitamin K2 (that we're aware of). So perhaps finding pure melatonin supplement would be better over a long period of time. Depending on where you are in the world you can try Bulk Supplements, they have good products. Hope that helps.
Can anyone in the u.s. maybe Order the pure bulk Melatonin for me and send It to me in Germany? That would be SOO lovely, since they do Not ship It to my place... :( Maybe someone knows a good pure Brand which Ships to Germany,that would also bei great. :-)
I am not aware of any evidence that this can happen. I think it's safe to say very little is known about the effects of long-term melatonin supplementation. My suspicion is that calcification can occur as a result of nutrient imbalances (excess fluoride likely plays a primary role) and exposure to environmental hazards like non-native electromagnetic fields.
Thank you 🙏 for an awesome podcast. Does anyone know how much total metal I in the body produces? How can one increase cellular melatonin? Or how does one increase gut melatonin?
I recommend listening to Russel's talks on youtube. He talks about some of these issues there. As far as gut melatonin goes, I don't think anyone knows about how much or what the influence would be. I would love to know as well though.
Can anyone tell me why Dr. Reiter's recommended doses of melatonin are so modest relative to his colleague Doris Loh? Insofar as how much melatonin to take for health and longevity, they are leagues apart and I would love to know why.
I believe Doris' recommendations are based on treating acute conditions whereas Russel is using it on a more constant basis as a preventative. I assume this would be the discrepancy.
@@RicciFlowNutrition FIrst off, thanks for the reply. I don't think that's the reason, that Doris' recommendations are for acute conditions. If you see her other interviews and talks, I think you will agree. She gobbles melatonin by the spoonful just on general principles. She believes it is basically a wonder drug providing it's taken in the hundreds of milligram doses, and that it's more than a drug but an important nutrient that needs to be supplemented for optimal health. I've written to her asking her about the discrepancy between her recommendations and Dr. Reiter's but she never responded.
You can get melatonin from iherb.com or from 'purebulk supplements' in a pure form. I suspect it will become increasingly regulated here in Aus to the point where you won't be able to buy it anymore. Just keep this in mind as it might be worth stocking up.
Thank you for this fabulous podcast! In the UK where I live melatonin (slow release) is prescription only. Furthermore, it is only prescribed to over 55s with insomnia and people with developmental disabilities. I was prescribed it for insomnia at age 56. I will take it for as long as I can!
