Great post, with the thorough elaboration you give every metabolic issue! I love

«I hereby dub melatonin the “guardian angel” of the mitochondria because:

• It is always present, keeping watch.

• You may go by never noticing it or believing it is there.

• When you need protection, that’s when it steps into action.»

interesting how melatonin synthesis ramps up in response to circadian stress. wouldn’t that suggest its presence is less a sign of optimal health and more a signal that the cell is in defensive mode? in which case, chronically elevated melatonin might not indicate restfulness but energetic insufficiency?
