Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacteria that can cause chronic inflammation of the stomach lining and the development of ulcers. If a person is diagnosed with an H. pylori infection, they are commonly treated with an HP-Pac, which is a combination of a proton pump inhibitor and 2 antibiotics, to clear the infection. In the September 2013 issue of the Natural Medicine Journal, author Jacob Schor discusses a 2012 study published in a Russian medical journal (Klin Med) that found when melatonin was added alongside the standard HP-Pac treatment for H. pylori infection, the H. pylori infection was eliminated more effectively and the stomach lining healed more quickly. This research further extends our understanding of melatonin, which is most commonly integrated as a support for restful/improved sleep. With this research, we can now also consider melatonin as a great support for overall stomach health too.
