we make less melatonin as we get older. This may be because of calcification of the penal gland, which makes DHEA.
vitamin K prevents calcification, but not at the RDA. The RDA just takes coagulation into effect. You'd need 100-1000x the RDA of vitamin K to get clotting problems. You need just 10x the RDA to max out your anti-calcification of soft tissue and veins, and keep the calcium on your bones.
Vitamin K is in dark leavy greans, like spinach and collard greens and Kale. lettuce has a little. You need saturated fat to extract the vitamin K. Ever try to get high by eating marijuana? It won't work. Got to extract the THC with butter. Well, vitamin K is the same. Unfortunately, non-fat salad dressing means people don't get nearly as much out of their salad. Most people don't even eat leafy greans. They might just get lettuce.
And calcification of veins causes other problems. Melatonin causes sleep cycles that reset your clock, produce all your hormones, and do other rejuvenating things. Melatonin is both water soluble and fat soluble and crosses the blood brain barier. It gets rid of some reactive proteins that accumulate during the day.
So eat your leafy greens, and use fatty salad dressing, or steam them with butter. And butter does not raise cholesterol levels.
