Yes Melatonin is supposed to help with both treatment and prevention of covid. I don't remember where I first heard that, but I've been taking a supplement most nights, which also helps me get to sleep, always a good thing too. Here are a bunch of reddit posts, output of a search so some will be better than others: https://old.reddit.com/r/Coronavirus/search?q=melatonin&restrict_sr=onAnother thing, I recommend an N95 respirator (not a cloth or surgical mask) when out in public. They make a big difference in decreasing virus exposure. There was a big shortage of them earlier but they are plentiful now, just a little more expensive than before. safetyemporium.com and wellbefore.com both have selections.

The Immune Plus contains 13% Magnesium, but another supplement I take has much more.
Are you sure about melatonin? That does not sound right.
A year ago last spring, I received a vaccine for something else. Since then, I've had a problem with allergies and other issues. For that reason, I'm leery of the COVID vaccine.
Jeanette Isabelle I always have allergies. It finally connected in my head to wear my mask while doing things like mowing so cut down on the amount of crap I was inhaling and it helped a bit.

Improved sleep has a positive benefit on the immune system. +1 A few weeks ago, I was not feeling well. Irregular heart beat, constant anxiety, constant tiredness, the whole list. I needed sleep but couldn't sleep much. Finally I decided to just drop in bed and shut down. I got more sleep, and yes, I started to feel better. I heard a few things about Melatonin and was tempted to buy a bottle. But I am not a pill lover and try to avoid meds if possible. Realizing this is a friendly chat board and not a medical expert board, I like to ask about melatonin. Does it have any negative side effects ? Will it be of more help than harm for a 65 year old self-stressed coffee junkie ?

Regarding the original post
Tomorrow I am going to my home town, to my dad's house where I have a room. I am going to carry a few items to leave there in order to beef up the preps/tools/util items
So, I am taking and leaving there : - A single blade folder, a double blade folder, a multitool - A chest of 5 plastic drawers (to organize supplies there, one drawer per category : first aid, office supplies, utility items..etc.
The contents (like first aid kits, duct tape rolls, bunjee cords ..etc.) will be transported later as construction project starts.
That room has to support me in all situations, like if something goes wrong in the construction project, or if I go there for a couple of days and the weather decides to imprison me for a week.

[quote=chaosmagnet]Realizing this is a friendly chat board and not a medical expert board, I like to ask about melatonin. Does it have any negative side effects ? Will it be of more help than harm for a 65 year old self-stressed coffee junkie ? It’s a supplement, widely available, and many in my family have used it or are using it now. Vivid dreaming is a common side effect, I’m told. I’ve only taken melatonin about two times, but I experienced it both times. Not being a medical professional and not knowing your health history, I suggest that you bring it up with your doctor before trying it.
