What is the dosage range of melatonin. Is it dependent on cancer stage or

an in the middle dosage to be taken. As I am in remission seven months from LU-177 and AC-225 am seeking supplements information.

Thanks

Since there was another study just posted on this site that indicated 3mg was sufficient, then maybe you'll want to start there. Some members who see doctors that practice natural medicine seem to prescribe 20 mg based on other published studies. I probably wouldn't go above 20mg. IMHO.

35 mg at bedtime and max of 5 hrs sleep. Another 5 mg at that pee time and maybe 3 more hrs.. up and wide awake with no extra fatigue.

The bottle states 2 tablets daily in Greece.

Thats the same as rectally. Correct?

I take 3mg as needed for sleep. The bottle is next to my bed with a water bottle (sometimes I'll also have oxycodone and tylenol bedside), so if insomnia strikes in the middle of the night I can take another dose. If I use it after 3am, it will make me sleep later the next morning.

Some say below 10 mg ia an anti-oxidant, and above that is a pro-oxidant. I take 12 mg per day but may double that.

Congratulations on your remission. I take 12 mg but not every night as tolerance quickly develops. Very interesting dreams on melatonin.

From What I have read 40mg is good to help prevent Biological relapse but I cannot give you studdies . There are many of them on this site . Search melatonin.

I take 30mg a night. Be prepared for some crazy intense dreams when you up the dose. No issues with a hangover. Still get up every 90 minutes or so to use the bathroom...
