The Benefits of Melatonin, Heartburn Treatment

Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally produced in the pineal gland of the brain. Its primary role is to regulate sleep-wake cycles and promote deep, restful sleep. While research on melatonin's role in preventing or helping with Heartburn is limited, there is some evidence suggesting its potential benefits.

A study published in the journal Diseases of the Esophagus in 2005 explored the effects of Melatonin on patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The results showed that Melatonin supplementation significantly reduced the frequency and severity of acid reflux episodes and improved symptoms associated with GERD. It is believed that Melatonin may exert its protective effects by enhancing the function of the lower esophageal sphincter, a muscle that helps prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus.
