“Many brands of melatonin are derived from or contain waste product, in some cases, from the remains of dead humans (mostly pineal glands of deceased Black people and Black aborted fetuses)”

Silly and racist to boot.Reason for above statement? “A friend of mine who’s an employee of a hospital in Los Angeles confirmed this startling information to me.”

Now for some FACTS:

-Natural melatonin, made from the extracts of the pineal glands of animals, usually sheep.
-Synthetic grade melatonin is manufactured under laboratory control from the amino acid tryptophan. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, that is, the body cannot make it; we need to get it through the foods we eat. Tryptophan is found in a wide variety of foods. As we consume tryptophan during the day, the body converts it into serotonin, an important brain chemical involved with mood. Serotonin, in turn, is converted into melatonin. This conversion occurs most efficiently at night.

“Another serious toxic byproduct is whey protein, a byproduct of the dairy industry. Whey is milk protein that is discarded from the production of cow milk, a SERIOUS TOXIN to the human body.”

Fact: HISTORICALLY, whey was considered a waste product (never a toxin by the way, let alone a serious one) in the development of cottage cheese.Just because they threw it out(hence the term ‘waste’) and thought it to be useless, doesn’t make it so.It has since been discovered that whey contains an excellent amino acid profile, dissolves readily, and digests easily. Whey protein also boasts a very high biological value (BV) score, a measure of protein quality. Specifically, whey is high (23%-25%) in branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), which are important for preventing the breakdown of muscle.Whey is therefore better termed a BYPRODUCT and a healthy one at that.

I won’t even try debunking some of the other “waste products” do a simple search for the facts.
