Dr. Reiter has devoted 33 years of research to the pineal gland and
melatonin. Colleagues have labeled him “the godfather” of
melatonin research. His major interests in research have related to
the role of the pineal gland and melatonin in reproductive physiology,
factors regulating pineal melatonin production and, most recently, the
function of melatonin in antioxidative defense mechanisms.
Dr. Reiter co-authored a book with Jo Robinson called Melatonin
– Breakthrough Discoveries That Can Help You. This book reveals
cutting-edge research on melatonin – a natural hormone and antioxidant
that helps determine how well we sleep, how fast we age and how effectively
we fight off disease and toxins. Chapter 6, Taming the Savage Cell,
tells about your built-in protection against cancer.
The book also provides vital information on how to protect and enhance
your body’s natural production of this life-giving hormone such
as High Serotonin In The Day, High Melatonin At Night – A
Recipe For Health.
