Melatonin And Low Neutrophils Or Neutropenia

I come to know that my Neutrophils count has decreased from 3.2 to 1.7 within the past 2 years. (normal range 2.0 to 8.0). I realised that started taking Melatonin 3mg daily since about the same time. At this time, I am only guessing there could be co-relation between the low Neutrophils and Melatonin. I am wondering if anyone else has similar side effect from Melatonin.

I don't necessarily have a direct answer to your question regarding the correlation between Melatonin and Low Neutrophils. But I have come across several reviews from those with personal experience attempting to take Melatonin for the sole purpose of raising their Neutrophil count. Unfortunately Melatonin appeared to have little to no effect for these people upon doing so.

From that information I can only assume that the low Neutrophil count may be the indirect result of some other aspect of your lifestyle habits. Perhaps in the realm of diet or exercise?

The MayoClinic also has a list of potential causes for those experiencing a low Neutrophil count (but it should not be replaced by the diagnoses of your doctor):

I hope this info helps!
