"we're talking anywhere between 3 to 100 mg melatonin. Um or 3 mg regular melatonin, 3 mg long-acting melatonin and then 3 mg sublingual liposomal melatonin"
"What you should have done is taken 30 milligrams melatonin before bed and then your growth hormone would have been elevated the next day because it takes time for the melatonin to metabolize. And while it's metabolizing, it's continuously pulsing growth hormone out of your pituitary. It will be 10 to 12 nanogs per..."
