Just a note of caution that melatonin cannot be taken by those who have autoimmune disorders. Many of us with osteoporosis also have autoimmune disorders.

Why? What happens to those who have autoimmune disorders when they take melatonin?

@tsc there are several articles on melatonin and autoimmune diseases that suggest it is beneficial, then I also see sites that say melatonin should be avoided because it causes flares. There also seem to be differences between specific disorders on this.
Here is one pro-melatonin study (2013) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3709754/
I have lupus and take it so I wanted to look into it. I will research further!
