Lemon Balm and Melatonin: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 5 records that name Lemon Balm and Melatonin together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Lemon Balm and Melatonin. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

5 studies naming Lemon Balm and Melatonin.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Co-application of titanium nanoparticles and melatonin effectively lowered chromium toxicity in lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) through modifying biochemical characteristics.

Environmental science and pollution research international · 2024 · PMID 38468007

Human subjects

“Heat map analysis showed that CAT, SOD, MDA, and EO yield had the maximum variability under Cr, TiO2 NPs, and MT. Exogenous TiO2 NPs and MT can be recommended to modulate Cr toxicity in lemon balm under soil Cr toxicity.”

Soliman et al. · From the abstract

Names both Lemon Balm and Melatonin in its title.

The protective role of melatonin under heavy metal-induced stress in Melissa Officinalis L.

Turkish journal of chemistry · 2021 · PMID 34385864

“However, melatonin pre-treatment increased plant tolerance to heavy metals stress. Increased Cd and Zn uptake and their translocation into the leaves were also improved, indicating the possible use of melatonin in phytoremediation.”

Hodžić et al. · From the abstract

Names both Lemon Balm and Melatonin in its title.

Melatonin Bioavailability After Oral Administration of a New Delayed-Release Form in Healthy Male Volunteers.

Drugs in R&D · 2024 · PMID 39174857

Clinical Trial

“The melatonin release profile was consistent with what was anticipated for the DR form. The DR form generated a 2 h delayed Tmax compared with a prolonged-release form previously evaluated. This suggests that the DR form is suitable for the treatment of certain sleep disorders such as short sleep duration or early awakening.”

Ait Abdellah et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names Lemon Balm and Melatonin together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Lemon Balm, Melatonin, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
