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.

@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!

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