Melatonin?
If someone takes 5mg of melatonin for a few weeks, do they need to increase the dosage because the effectiveness of melatonin decreases over the time? I've heard mixed opinions about this and I'm not sure what to believe. Can you help clarify this for me?
Have to keep increasing dosage?
Please don't make me confuse with just yes or no
Please answer my question
Is it myth?
Is it fact?
