"Its use is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding or for those with liver disease.[7][13]"

New studies suggest that melatonin supplementation may be a promising adjunct for liver disease.

Orcid IDs

@ Invasive Spices: Why are you adding Orcid IDs to citations? It polutes the meta data. You are also hyping the authors. Focus on the conclusions of the study, not who wrote it. Thanks. Boghog ( talk) 19:06, 24 September 2021 (UTC) reply

  • That's pretty funny coming from someone who removes and damages as much author data as you can. As for hyping the authors, I normally don't and would agree that is inappropriate, however I do so if working from a rev and the rev thinks that paper is so singular as to be worth promoting. (Also I don't see any such on this article. But I've done that elsewhere.) Invasive Spices ( talk) 19:20, 24 September 2021 (UTC) reply
    • Again, I am trying to have a serious discussion, and you refuse to directly respond. Why does every single author deserve an external link to their other publications? Boghog ( talk) 19:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC) reply

In image of head, what go SCN, RHT, MCRGC denote? Use hormonal, not humoral, reminiscent of Ancient Greek 5 humors. 98.144.238.191 ( talk) 14:17, 12 June 2022 (UTC) reply

To add to article

Basic information to add to this article: the etymology of the word "melatonin." According to Wiktionary, it is a blend of melanin +‎ serotonin. If that's true, why not add this information to this article, in order to help make it properly encyclopedic? 173.88.246.138 ( talk) 01:11, 9 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Useful suggestion, and done. Chhandama ( talk) 09:09, 10 March 2023 (UTC) reply

On skin lightening in frogs

The head says that the hormone elicits skin lightening in the common frog, with a wikilink to skin whitening, where it is described as "the practice of using chemical substances in an attempt to lighten the skin or provide an even skin color by reducing the melanin concentration in the skin." That specific human practice doesn't seem to be a relevant link unless I'm missing something. Understandable mistake, but remove? Moonjail ( talk) 04:13, 8 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Source of melatonin not stated

this article does not state the source of melatonin used in either Rx or OTC products. If it has a synthetic source that should be under scrutiny because in the past impurities from synthetic tryptophan had caused abnormal blood cell production. Both melatonin and tryptophan have in common an indole ring . 2603:6011:F7F0:1C30:3957:B73:DB53:46D9 ( talk) 03:25, 13 October 2023 (UTC) reply
