SHR # 2430 :: BEST OF: Anti-aging Pill For Pennies A Day - Dr. Russel Reiter - This show originally aired in January of 2007. All of the things we thought about melatonin, and more, have come to fruition. Now melatonin is being heralded not as much of a sleep aid as it is in reducing chronic inflammation, And it crosses the blood-brain-barrier which is unique for any antioxidant. Oh yeah, its one of the most powerful antioxidants as well. Studies have show that it protects the brain against the disruptive effects of high frequency transmitters like cell phones and cordless phones. It's the one supplement I have used consistently and continuously for over 20 years now. In this first-of-many interviews with Dr. Reiter he talks about using 20 mg of melatonin nightly. In 2018 when I communicated with him last he was up to 60 mg a night. Dr. Reiter is still publishing papers on the pineal gland and its primary hormone melatonin.
