Long term melatonin use has been linked to a huge increase in heart failure, even when controlling for insomnia. As someone who used melatonin 3-4 times a week for long periods, this is a scary and extremely important correlation to note. I hope my frequent use of magnesium has helped keep my heart intact. ❤️🩹
