Key Takeaways

  • Melatonin study linking it to 89% higher heart failure risk is preliminary (unpublished, non-peer-reviewed abstract). Don’t panic yet.
  • Study compared insomnia patients using melatonin vs. non-users – correlation ≠ causation (poor sleep likely the real risk factor).
  • Existing evidence suggests melatonin may benefit cardiovascular health, not harm it.

Bottom Line

Don’t stop melatonin based on headlines alone. Focus on fixing root causes of insomnia first.
