Wellness supplement impacts on hormonal health

Overview

Research and scrutiny regarding wellness supplements have highlighted potential adverse effects on hormonal balance and libido. Melatonin, commonly used as a sleep aid, has been linked to side effects such as headaches, decreased blood pressure, and lethargy. There are specific concerns that melatonin may interfere with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, potentially suppressing reproductive hormones like luteinizing hormone.

Other supplements, including saw palmetto, St. John’s wort, licorice root, and saw palmetto, are also noted for their potential to impact hormonal health or inadvertently decrease sexual interest.
