My experience with is is good. I only use it to adjust my circadian
rhythm, nothing more.

I don't really buy the anti-aging claims. Yes, it is an anti-oxidant
and has helped mice. But so has a lot of other stuff, the important
question is whether there is good evidence that it has a significant
effect on the aging process itself (and not just on the symptoms or
other confounding variables) and that it works in humans in that
respect. There seems to be very scant evidence for that right now. I'm
not ruling out that melatonin could have beneficial aging effects, but
it is hardly a magic bullet.
