Dr. Russel Reiter (Professor of Cell Biology), a dear friend and colleague of mine shared an article explaining how melatonin therapy could help with COVID-19.
“Melatonin is not viricidal but it has indirect anti-viral actions due to its anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and immune-enhancing features. In previous respiratory syncytial virus models, melatonin caused down regulation of acute lung oxidative injury, pro-inflammatory cytokine release and inflammatory cell recruitment. Also, melatonin’s anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, immune-enhancing actions supports its potential attenuation of COVID-19 infection.”
