Publisher's summary

A revolutionary medical breakthrough suggests that aging is actually a preventable disease, and two key scientists at the center of this groundbreaking research are now going public for the first time.

For centuries scientists have labored to identify and reverse the cause of aging, and now that effort has converged on one gland, one hormone, and one laboratory. The gland is the pineal - our body's natural timekeeper. The hormone is melatonin -- the pineal's messenger. The laboratory is headed by authors Drs. Pierpaoli and Regelson - who explain how to use melatonin to "reset" our biological clocks in order to live longer, healthier lives.

More than just a promise to look younger, The Melatonin Miracle actually tells us how to grow younger. All we need to do to turn back the hands of time is simply restore the melatonin levels of our youth. By readjusting our "clocks," we c an actually slow the process of aging, as well as strengthen our immune system, thereby heightening our resistance to disease and even prolonging our sexual vitality.

Practical, informative, and intriguing, The Melatonin Miracle also addresses other research that suggests that melatonin is a safe, non-addictive sleep agent, lowers cholesterol, and helps relieve stress.

Good information, but outdated

More recent information I've read suggests that high doses of melatonin are profoundly beneficial. All the information in this book is excellent except the outdated recommendations to use low dose, in my opinion.

Highly recommended

If you could sum up The Melatonin Miracle in three words, what would they be?

Eye-opening, informative, exciting!

What did you like best about this story?

I've read many books that present medical research but often in dry, highly-technical terms. This book, however, presented the clinical research in an interesting and easily understood manner.

Any additional comments?

One previous reviewer claimed the authors did not give dosing instructions. Actually, at 1:17:00 in the program, the authors give exact dosing for age ranges. The authors also recommend synthetic over natural melatonin. I feel they covered all relevant applications for melatonin in a clear and precise way. This is a wonderful book for anyone who is interested in feeling and looking younger! Highly recommended!

Good Information

I enjoyed listening to this book. It was written in an entertaining way and was packed with information. Giving a 4 star instead of 5 star because I would have liked to have had more information on the way the author derived his dosing recommendations since they are so much lower then most authorities suggest.

Excellent info! I want more details!

I loved it! Excellent content! I was left with questions, though, leading me to research more details of specifics and how it works depending on the results you're looking for! Something I learned, I didn't know melatonin with progesterone can be used as a natural birth control like they do in Holland. Aja moment!

a nice listen and a lot of good information

loved the story, narration, length, and information. Melatonin Miracle may prove to be a saving grace.

Short, concise and powerful.

one of the best audio books on Melatonin. Tool less than 90 mins to listen. well worth every penny....I am an Integrative Medicine Doctor and have been preaching some information explained in this book for years.

Short and to the point!

I love learning the science behind all the supplements I take.

Amazed by all the great information.

Where does The Melatonin Miracle rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very great buy,I was totally amazed on how much this Audio, has educated me,on a lot of key factors and advice,on growing older and managing better sleep patterns.A must have if you want to live a happier, healthy life,especially while aging.I really really loved this Audio ,and would greatly recommend it to all ,I feel we all want to grow older ,the best we can.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character ,was US ,helping our stress,brain,and body age nicely.

Pretty much just (list of issues you might have) and then "Melatonin can help with this issue"

The only real reason this book has real value is because of some physiological descriptions of what Melatonin does in the brain and why it's related to aging and heart function, the rest is pretty much just about vague things melatonin can help with and then telling you to take Melatonin. I would reccomend it but I don't think most of the information in this book was very necessary to understand the main point.
