It has been investigated for its potential involvement in regulating sleep patterns, neuroendocrine function, and stress-related hormone signaling

However, oral forms remain the most convenient and cost-effective option for most users
In reproduction, melatonin and related peptides scavenge reactive oxygen species in follicular fluid and seminal plasma, protect mitochondrial DNA, and reduce gamete membrane lipid peroxidation
