Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Melatonin. You've probably taken it for sleep. But that's only a small part of the story. Over the past decade, melatonin has gone from a niche sleep aid to one of the most actively researched hormones in medicine, studied for its role in heart disease, cancer, depression, diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, chronic pain, fertility, bone health, and even protection against sunburn and radiation. At the same time, use in children has grown so fast that melatonin is now the leading cause of child poisoning calls to poison control centers in the United States, and independent testing keeps finding that many gummies don't contain what the label promises. Melatonin in Health and Disease is a completely rewritten and expanded second edition from Jacob Rosenberg, a professor of surgery who has spent three decades running clinical trials on melatonin, in operating rooms, cardiac wards, and cancer clinics. Written for the general reader, with no medical background assumed, this book walks through what melatonin actually is, how your internal body clock works, and what the evidence really shows, and does not show, for each of its many claimed uses. Inside, you'll find: A clear, honest chapter-by-chapter breakdown of the science, including where the evidence is strong, where it's promising but unproven, and where popular claims outrun the researchNew chapters on melatonin in children, its role during the COVID-19 pandemic, and its emerging connection to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseaseA practical guide to safe dosing, drug interactions, and what to actually look for on a supplement label before you buyAnswers to the questions readers ask most, including common myths worth retiring for goodWritten in plain language by a working surgeon and researcher, this is the book to read before your next trip to the supplement aisle. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
