Pineal Gland Hormones replacement therapy

Pineal gland hormones are supplemented with melatonin, at 0.3 to 3 mg orally at night before bed. The lower dose is appropriate to aid sleep, At the 3-mg level, melatonin, is an antioxidant but rarely a sleep aid. Appropriate melatonin levels have several advantages, which include DNA protection ( the antioxidant function), improvement of immune function, regulation of general hormonal release patterns, and in case cases, improved quality of sleep. People with autoimmune diseases usually should not take supplemental melatonin but can obtain it instead by taking 5-HTP, the precursor to serotonin, some of which resolves into melatonin. Others can also achieve both improved serotonin and melatonin levels by taking 5-HTP.
