Recent research indicates that melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep and wakefulness, may also play a role in reproductive health due to its antioxidant properties. These effects are especially relevant to egg quality, which is crucial for fertility.
Several studies suggest that melatonin supplementation may improve outcomes for women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF). For instance, a review published in 2017 in "Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology" concluded that melatonin supplementation could improve the quality of oocytes and embryos and increase the pregnancy rate in women undergoing IVF treatment.
However, the exact mechanisms and optimal dosage of melatonin for this purpose are not fully understood, and more research is needed. As always, it's essential to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially when trying to conceive.
