Many biohacking guides suggest using melatonin. Does liquid melatonin spoil under high temperature if put in tea (95 degree Celcius)?
More general question: how do I even find answers to questions like this one?
When I had a quick go-ogle search I started with:
“melatonin stability temperature”
then
“N-Acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine”
A quick flick through a few abstracts I can’t see anything involving temperatures higher than 37 C i.e. body temperature.
Melatonin is a protein, many proteins denature at temperatures above 41 C.
My (jumped to) conclusion:
No specific data found.
Melatonin may not be stable at high temperatures, so avoid putting it in hot tea.
