We evaluated whether melatonin and bright-light phototherapy could help alleviate symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). In a controlled study with thirty participants, we assessed the effectiveness of these treatments by measuring various symptoms over several weeks.
Unfortunately, we found that neither melatonin nor phototherapy led to significant improvements in the patients’ symptoms or overall health. Our findings suggest that these treatments shouldn't be promoted for CFS unless proven beneficial.

We examined the impact of melatonin on 29 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) who had a late Dim Light Melatonin onset (DLMO). Over three months, patients took 5 mg of melatonin five hours before their DLMO.
Both before and after the treatment, we measured their fatigue levels using a reliable questionnaire. After treatment, we saw significant improvements in overall fatigue, concentration, motivation, and activity, especially in patients with a later DLMO.
These findings suggest that melatonin could be a helpful option for managing fatigue in individuals with CFS and delayed melatonin secretion.

We investigated how antioxidants, including melatonin, impact chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) using a mouse model. In our study, mice were subjected to daily swimming, mimicking fatigue symptoms. We found that melatonin, along with other antioxidants, significantly reduced immobility periods, indicating a potential benefit. Biochemical tests showed that these treatments lessened oxidative stress in the brain, restoring important antioxidant enzyme levels. Overall, the results point to antioxidants, including melatonin, as promising candidates for managing CFS symptoms.

Helps with ADHD
This product works wonders for my boy with ADHD, Tourette's syndrome, and autism. I give him two each night, and they help him sleep perfectly. They are affordable and effective for managing his chronic fatigue syndrome.

This product is fantastic! My son wakes up feeling refreshed, without the usual fatigue associated with other sleeping aids. I've repurchased it, but wish I had adhered more strictly to the dosage as it is quite potent.

While I found this product excellent for putting my children to sleep, I noticed they would wake up crying as if experiencing headaches or fatigue. Due to this, I decided to stop giving it to them.

Melatonin and zinc may reduce fatigue
We conducted a 16-week, randomized, double-blind trial to investigate the impact of melatonin combined with zinc on fatigue symptoms in individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
Our research involved 50 participants, where 24 received the active treatment while 26 were given a placebo.
The results were encouraging, showing a significant reduction in fatigue perception and an improvement in overall quality of life for those taking melatonin and zinc.
While urinary levels of melatonin increased significantly, zinc levels did not show notable differences. Overall, this treatment appears safe and potentially beneficial for managing ME/CFS symptoms.

Melatonin shows mixed benefits for fatigue
We sought to understand how melatonin supplementation affects chronic fatigue syndrome among multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. In our study, 102 patients were divided into groups based on their treatment types and supplemented with melatonin for 90 days.
We found that melatonin significantly reduced plasma lipid hydroperoxide levels, which may relate to chronic fatigue in MS. However, homocysteine levels showed no significant change across the groups after treatment. Overall, while melatonin appeared beneficial in lowering certain biomarkers, it did not significantly alleviate fatigue symptoms in all MS patients.

We explored the effects of melatonin on chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in patients with Parkinson's disease. Our study involved 30 patients at different stages of the disease.
After treatment, we observed a significant 21% reduction in fatigue severity. Not only did sleep quality improve, but there was also a decrease in anxiety and an enhancement in overall quality of life.
However, we found no noteworthy changes in motor or cognitive functions, nor in depression levels. Melatonin appears promising as part of a treatment plan for CFS and sleep issues in these patients.

Effective treatment found

I have suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome for years without finding any relief. After trying this product, I initially started with a lower dosage due to my hesitance. My experience with a single pill was disappointing, leaving me feeling narcotic. However, after taking two pills, I slept deeply, and my sleep hours improved significantly. Melatonin helped regulate my biological clock after years of insomnia. I strongly advise trying this product and appreciate your prayers. 🤍

Children's sleep improved
I call this product a miracle! After two days, my children fell asleep without needing prompting. I administered half a pill to each at 8 PM, and although they initially woke after four hours, they returned to sleep. Their sleep improved remarkably after that. I divided the pill sizes among them, and as an adult, taking a whole pill made me feel heavy but effective. Despite the odd smell, there were no complaints from my children. May you be rewarded in this world and the next.

We explored the impact of melatonin on patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), focusing on heart rate and blood pressure rhythms. Our study involved 18 CFS patients and measured their ambulatory blood pressure against age-matched controls.
While we saw heightened circadian rhythm amplitudes in CFS patients, melatonin did not improve nighttime blood pressure levels—instead, it worsened hypotension. However, inopamil showed promise in addressing nighttime blood pressure issues.
Ultimately, this suggests that melatonin may not be beneficial for those suffering from CFS.
