Most melatonin gummies in US are inaccurately labelled
1. Melatonin gummies are routinely given to children for sleep, stress and relaxation.
Melatonin is not approved by FDA for use in children, and hence #melatonin gummies are bought OTC or online.

2. Pediatric melatonin ingestions in US increased 530% from 2012 to 2021 and were associated with 27 795 emergency department and clinic visits, 4097 hospitalizations, 287 intensive care unit admissions, and 2 deaths.
3. In a recent study, 25 melatonin gummy brands were analyzed. Twenty-two of 25 products (88%) were inaccurately labeled, and only 3 products (12%) contained a quantity of melatonin that was within ±10% of the declared quantity.

Once in a hospital setting the patient and family can have little control over what happens next.

Not much data out there but even #redlight with a high lux will suppress #melatonin & disrupt #circadianrhythm.
So make sure your red light machine is far from you at night to reduce intensity! Use a lux meter.

@Mktweets0 1/ Melatonin was first purified and characterised from the bovine pineal gland extract by Aron Lerner and co-workers in 1958.
However it has systemic effects. #Kidney cells (proximal tubule) express a melatonin receptor of type MTNR1. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9034171/

Top #biohacks for increasing your #melatonin
Melatonin production happens 24 hours a day - this goddess healer and master antioxidant is not only a night-time pineal gland thing!
Melatonins regulates so much including your:
💎glucose
💎lipids
💎leptin (hunger drive)
💎insulin

1. Sync with the sun
Suggested Hacks:
A. Embrace sunlight in daytime
Eat outside, take breaks outside, walk & cycle more, work/exercise outside, walking meetings
B. Embrace darkness after sun down
Switch overhead lights to dim lamps or candles, swap video for audio media

2. Use infrared light to your advantage
Suggested Hacks:
A. be in the sun early in the day and later in the afternoon to boost melatonin production from the red light spectrum
B. use a red light devices eg. infrared sauna unit, blanket or bag, red light therapy device

I think this topic might trigger some in particular, bc of the #religious belief that #WomenMustSuffer
#christian cultural training:
In their origin story,
the women was the reason #EveAndAdam were damned. Because of Eve’s failure,
they believe
#childbirth must hurt.

Just SUGGESTING
#Childbirth was never expected to hurt, can trigger many people who had bad experiences.
Every birth is both physical
AND psychological.
Christians tend to have painful births bc they are TERRIFIED.
The curse of Eve
works on believers.

TW: @LAPDHQ went at us with batons hitting mothers and babies and peaceful protesters in front of @MayorOfLA. LAPD pulled one of us randomly and ended up grabbing Jaime.
.@JoeBiden and @Transition46 please pay attention! This is how @MayorOfLA treats the people of LA. This happened right outside his window while he was sipping his morning coffee. #BlockGarcetti from everything and anything.
Update: @RealJamiePenn released after being held in solitary for 3 hours. @NBCLA provided an offensive mouthpiece of a story for @LAPDHQ. LAPD claims “lynching” as the charge. To #chuds asking to see kids getting hit, go find ur jack off material someplace else, you sick fucks.
