Previously, I have discussed many effects of melatonin on human health, but one of the aspects of melatonin I have not discussed here is how melatonin affects the spine.

The CSF circulates throughout various brain regions and is crucial in many neurodegenerative diseases. Melatonin has demonstrated therapeutic effects in these conditions, underscoring its importance beyond merely regulating sleep.
