Melatonin

lowers cortisol. A low blood pressure

patient generally has low cortisol that may further lower with high doses of

melatonin. Melatonin taken sublingually (best way) may generally not

exceed the 0.1 mg in a low cortisol (but cortisol not supplemented) patient.

Orally (not the best way), the dose may not exceed the 0.3 to 0.5 mg per

day before bedtime.

Hello

Thierry

I

know that Melatonin helps lower blood pressure, but what would the effect be on

somebody who already has low blood pressure please.
