Jet lag cure

By Julie Vold, on 04/23/2002.

I know alot of people take melatonin for jet lag and sleep problems. Here's my issue with that. I know this is going to sound paranoid, but get these apples. Currently, all melatonin on the market is derived from the brains of cows. And while admittedly, there has not been one documented case of mad cow disease in the United States, I sure don't want to be one of the unlucky ones that finds out in 40 years that my brain is deteriorating because I took a melatonin pill. I'm waiting for them to make it synthetically...then I would take it. The point is, that your article gives hope for dealing with these issues while being able to avoid the cow-derived melatonin supplements!
