melatonin  for GURD

From our friend Dr. Low Dog   

​You probably have heard that melatonin can help you sleep, but did you know it may also alleviate symptoms of heartburn? Most people think of melatonin as a hormone that, when produced by the brain's pineal gland, affects circadian rhythms and the sleep-wake cycle. But your gastrointestinal tract (GI) also makes melatonin, secreting up to 500 times as much your pineal gland. Melatonin serves numerous functions in the GI system and now science suggests it might be help ease the pain of acid reflux, too. A number of studies have shown that melatonin (3-6 mg 2 hours before bed) significantly reduces reflux symptoms by 6-8 weeks, working as well as a common proton pump inhibitor. Melatonin helps to close the sphincter between the stomach and esophagus, reducing the back flow of stomach acid. Maybe it is not a coincidence that so many people struggle with sleep and heartburn in modern times. Considering the side effects associated with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), melatonin might be a useful alternative. Definitely something to talk to your health care provider about!
