Melatonin shows promise in DNA repair

Melatonin shows promise in DNA repair for night shift workers
Research indicates that melatonin supplementation may support DNA repair in people working night shifts, potentially reducing cancer risk. Working night shifts is linked to circadian rhythm disruptions,
Melatonin Supplementation May Aid DNA Repair in Night Shift Workers
Melatonin supplementation may enhance DNA repair in night shift workers, reducing oxidative damage and potentially lowering long-term cancer risk.
Melatonin supplement may repair DNA damage in night shift workers
A small study suggests that taking melatonin supplements might help night shift workers repair damage to their DNA. This damage happens because working at night affects the body’s natural rhythm, reducing the amount of melatonin it produces.
Melatonin supplements may help reduce DNA damage in night shift workers
Melatonin supplementation may help offset the DNA damage associated with night shift work by boosting the body's ability to repair it, suggest the findings of a small clinical trial published online in the journal Occupational & Environmental Medicine.
Could Melatonin Protect Night Shift Workers From DNA Damage?
Researchers from BC Cancer Research Institute and University of British Columbia studied 40 night shift workers in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial. A 3 mg melatonin dose taken before daytime sleep raised DNA repair markers by 80%.
Melatonin might help night shift workers lower cancer risk, study says
Night shift workers face an increased risk of cancer, as their disrupted sleep cycle causes wear and tear on their DNA. But taking melatonin might help ward off this risk, a new study suggests.
