Melatonin Micro-Dosing (0.3mg)

The Overdose Epidemic

The pineal gland naturally secretes about 0.3mg of melatonin per night. Yet, most supplements contain 3mg, 5mg, or even 10mg. This is a pharmacological overdose (10x - 30x physiological levels). High doses desensitize receptors, leading to "melatonin hangovers" and down-regulation of natural production.

The Chronobiotic Effect

Melatonin is not a sedative; it is a "Darkness Signal." It tells your body when to sleep, not how to sleep. Micro-dosing (0.3mg) shifts the circadian rhythm effectively without saturating the receptors, preserving your body's natural sensitivity.
