Here's an article: That may clear up the confusion ( or not) : http://www.Endocrine-abstracts.Org/ea/0026/ea0026p394.Htm. My understanding is that people who have hypothyroidism from hashimoto's, an auto-immune disorder, should not take melatonin because it may increase inflamnation in the body. Please ask your endocrinologist if it is safe for you to take in your particular case. That's always safest.
