Health experts have become increasingly vocal about the importance of quality sleep for a balanced, healthy routine. Melatonin is a hormone that our bodies naturally produce to help regulate our sleep cycles. And while supplementation of melatonin has become relatively common in the past decade, experts warn against regular use.

And at the same time, gastrointestinal conditions like (IBS) continue to be a major concern for many of us2, especially women. With always-growing evidence pointing to our microbiome health being essential for gut health, brain health, immune function, disease prevention, and so much more, it’s certainly not something we want to mess with. 

There are plenty of ways to support your microbiome, and cutting back on melatonin might just be one of them according to this new animal research.
