DNA, Melatonin and night shift

Melatonin might help night shift workers lower cancer risk, study says
Night shift workers face an increased risk of cancer, as their disrupted sleep cycle causes wear and tear on their DNA. But taking melatonin might help ward off this risk, a new study suggests.
Melatonin Supplementation May Aid DNA Repair in Night Shift Workers
Melatonin supplementation may enhance DNA repair in night shift workers, reducing oxidative damage and potentially lowering long-term cancer risk.
Melatonin shows promise in DNA repair for night shift workers
Research indicates that melatonin supplementation may support DNA repair in people working night shifts, potentially reducing cancer risk. Working night shifts is linked to circadian rhythm disruptions,
Could Melatonin Protect Night Shift Workers From DNA Damage?
Researchers from BC Cancer Research Institute and University of British Columbia studied 40 night shift workers in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial. A 3 mg melatonin dose taken before daytime sleep raised DNA repair markers by 80%.
Melatonin supplement may repair DNA damage in night shift workers
A small study suggests that taking melatonin supplements might help night shift workers repair damage to their DNA. This damage happens because working at night affects the body’s natural rhythm, reducing the amount of melatonin it produces.
Taking melatonin can help lower the risk of cancer for some who use the sleep medicine, scientists say
Taking melatonin could help night shift workers avoid cancer, researchers said Monday. Researchers from North Carolina and British Columbia say the sleep supplement could be a “viable intervention strategy to reduce the burden of cancer” among that group,
