Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the human brain, and stroke is known as a stroke. Taking melatonin in small amounts will not increase the risk of stroke in healthy adults.
There is no melatonin drug approved for sale in China, and the ones on the market are health food. In the United States (FDA) approved for marketing only Melatonin.
The indications of melatonin are mainly various kinds of insomnia, jet lag syndrome, and the therapeutic effect in anti-cancer and anti-virus is still in the experimental stage. Some studies have now shown that melatonin can inhibit free radical production, reduce oxidative stress, and reduce cerebral edema, making it a potential treatment for cerebral ischemic injury.
This class of drugs is used with caution in women with autoimmune disorders, depression, pregnancy, and lactation. Contraindicated in children under 12 years of age, when required to operate machinery or drive.
People with risk factors for stroke should use melatonin-based related products with caution under the guidance of a clinician to avoid potential harm.
