Question: Do you consider melatonin a sleeping pill?
Dr. Hibberd's answer:
Yes, melatonin can be used as a sleep pill. lt is a hormone secreted by the brain and is known to help control sleep cycles and our internal biological clock. Its effects are easiest to manipulate by using a drug such as Rozerem, which is a "melatonin agonist," that affects our brains in the same way an increased hormone level would.
Do not use pituitary extracts containing melatonin from cows, which can carry virus infections that are difficult to detect.
