I've always taken melatonin at night to help with sleep, I've also ran GH and things like cjc/ipamorelin and mk677... But earlier today I heard mentioned that melatonin is also a gh secretagogue... so I did a little bit of googling and there are studies that do display this...

Now, to what extent or degree I really don't know... but if you aren't on GH and aren't on peptides to increase the release, then melatonin might be a possible thought to add to your before bed supplementation as it's quite cheap!

Again, just passing on what I happened to come across, it may not even be worth doing at all, but just something interesting to ponder on!

I'm mostly finding old studies from the 90's. Very few from this decade besides a few involving rodents,
but the findings do look promising. I imagine something like this is very dose dependent which is also
unique to each individual which is why I stay away from Melatonin.

My experiences with Melatonin in the past were poor because how little Melatonin is regulated.
Companies slap on a label, pick a number from 1-60mg, and call it a day.

Unless things have changed and there are sources to verify contents like you can find for supps
like Omega fatty acids from "International Fish Oil Standards" or IFOS which include lab testings...
