Melatonin, a hormone produced by the tiny pineal gland, is taking center stage as the new medical breakthrough that can actually retard the aging process, boost the immune system, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, guarantee a good night's sleep, prevent jet lag, and prolong sexual vitality-without any adverse side effects. Two leading researchers, Drs. Walter Pierpaoli and William Regelson, call it The Melatonin Miracle and provide an easy-to-understand, concise survey of the wonder properties of this readily available substance.
Dr. Russel J. Reiter calls it Melatonin: Your Body's Natural Wonder Drug, and presents his perspective, based on more than 30 years of melatonin research, on the drug's potential, including its role as a powerful antioxidant and where to find it in the foods we eat. All three authors say that they, their friends, and families take melatonin.
Nutrition columnist Jean Carper doesn't mention melatonin, but she does believe that you can Stop Aging Now and offers her own plan for staying young and dramatically slowing the aging process with antioxidant vitamins, minerals, herbs, and food chemicals. Carper gives you a hefty list, with the safe dosages that are recommended to put the brakes on "normal aging." Put all this age-reversing information together and you'll be listening to audio for eons to come.
