Thanks for reporting your results @GAF .
I plan to give it a try as well, though I am also leery of the negatives of melatonin. Though what little I've read, the real dangers are in long term use, not short term. Thanks for mentioning Ray's article, I'll look that up.
Were you using the 10mg dosage these past two nights? I was maybe going to try about 5-6mg based off the articles I read.
I was taking 5mgx2 about 9.45 pm. It would seem in theory that we should all try to find the minimum effective dose. We should also try to figure out how often one must do this to truly strengthen the sphincter. It would seem that once the sphincter has tightened, zero or infrequent usage would be sensible. If ongoing supplementation is needed, then we should probably try to figure out what is causing this lack of melatonin in the first place.
Anybody, know where melatonin in the GI tract comes from? I haven't had the time to delve into the melatonin mystery due to tax deadlines...
