Melatonine in de strijd tegen kanker

Melatonine, we kennen het als 'slaaphormoon' dat ook als supplement verkrijgbaar is en dat zelfs in kleine hoeveelheden in de voeding aanwezig is. In dit artikel gaan we dieper in op een van de vele andere facetten van dit veelzijdige molecule: de potentie om tumorcellen te onderdrukken. Klinische studies geven voorzichtig positieve resultaten, vooral voor wat levenskwaliteit betreft.
