New Studies On Melatonin And Testosterone Levels

Melatonin has recently become a hit with bodybuilders for elevating testosterone levels

, without the use of testosterone! Melatonin is one supplement which has researchers, sports nutritionists, and bodybuilders scratching their heads. It's available over the counter, which means any level of it can be obtained, and it can be used in multiple informal studies, whereas more tightly controlled drugs are only obtainable by licensed doctors or researchers. Let's take a look at the good, the bad, and potentially unknown side effects of Melatonin.

The good

First off, it is easily attainable and relatively inexpensive. Depending upon purchasing limits, you can stock up and you can then use it for whatever purposes you wish. If you're a bodybuilding nutritionist, this bodes very well for you, as you can to use it upon your stable of athletes and evaluate the effects of different doses. If you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or even 50s, Melatonin might deliver a boost to your body's T-levels that can really improve your quality of life. Melatonin raises testosterone levels in subjects. That's right. Elevated testosterone levels in nearly all subjects tested - and many of the subjects retained these elevated levels for up to six months after discontinued use. Long-term use results aren't known. Researchers aren't aware of dependencies or any long-term requirements or limitations of use, but they are running studies now.

Melatonin can also be used in a "poor man's stack", where it is stacked with legal prohormones, to lead to increased muscle gains in an anabolic environment. In addition, adding in the use of ECA (ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirin stacked) creates a fairly powerful pre-contest supplement plan, which is actually legal! You can purchase all components at your corner pharmacy or drug store. Additionally, it likely qualifies as legal for natural bodybuilding competitions.

The bad

If you are a male planning on fathering children in the near future, avoid Melatonin. In studies, it has been shown to lower sperm counts in some males. The cause is not yet known, but it may be attributed to endocrine shutdown due to artificially high testosterone levels. If you're not confident, you should wait a few months or a ears to view further studies on the compound.

The unknown

Melatonin is a new supplement, and relatively unknown. Already, a "Melatonin II" is arriving, and the long-term effects of "I" haven't yet begun to be evaluated. If you're a risk-taker, Then Melatonin might be for you. If you prefer to play it safe, instead consult with a doctor about possible use of actual testosterone. While it's believed Melatonin doesn't affect the endocrine system (and the manufacture of testosterone by the testes) nothing is known for sure.

The bottom line

If you're an older guy in your 30s or 40s, and you've already passed your child-fathering years, and you feel a slump in quality of life due to sagging testosterone levels, then Melatonin might be right for you. Check with your doctor, and evaluate all the possible side effects, and limits upon quality of life.
