Check out this research, where melatonin, reservatrol and letrozole were added into breast adipose tissue in vitro.

As we know, aromatisation of testosterone to estrogen can occur at the aromatase enzyme in fat cells.

Both melatonin and reservatrol were found to act as aromatase inhibitors in this co-culture model, however, melatonin was 1000x more potent than reservatrol.

The most surprising finding here was that melatonin was equally as potent as letrozole!

The sleeping pills are teh cause of the cancer?
Well, no wonder, they use a brain melting chemicals to make them work on us.
Luckily I never needed any and I never used any.
I am so tired these days that I fall asleep right away.

No, melatonin is being studied as a treatment for breast cancer

Melatonin is a hormone created in the body. It is not a brain melting drug.

I take melatonin on occasion and I hope it hasn't melted my brain! If the site starts getting really messed up that could be the reason. :)

Aw, I completely misunderstood that post.
I don't know about the rest of the forum, but the Diet and Nutrition sub-forum is pretty much abandoned area.
It would be easier to keep the discussion going with more frequent replies and members interested in the topic.

The peptide MT2 is used as well to help people get a good tan. I took it before my show a few years ago and it really helped. The side effects are you turn into a 15 year old boy
and have erections off and on all day. This can be an issue at work. LOL

The primary use of melatonin is to induce sleep and to create a regular sleeping cycle. New research seems to suggest that this sleep inducer hormone also induces weight loss.
