India Sees Surge In Melatonin Use Amid Heart Risk Concerns

Imagine your body has a natural way to know when to sleep, like a tiny internal clock.

Melatonin is a hormone that helps this clock.

Many people are having trouble sleeping because of stress, screens, and busy lives.

So, they are taking melatonin pills, often in higher doses than their body makes, thinking it's like a vitamin and totally safe.

Recently, doctors found that people who take melatonin regularly might have a much higher chance of getting heart problems, like heart failure.

It's like taking too much of something good can actually be bad.

Experts say it's better to fix our sleep habits, like going to bed at a regular time and reducing screen use, rather than relying on these pills.

They also mention that the amount of melatonin in these pills isn't always what the bottle says.
