If I take melatonin for sleep will I not tan as well?
I haven't been able to fall asleep these last few weeks, so I've considered taking melatonin. I looked up some of its side effects, and one of them is that it is has a "photo protective property" and helps protect from UV light. I wanted to go tanning 5 times for prom, but am I going to be wasting my money on tanning if I take melatonin? Will I still tan?

Don't worry, you'll still tan. Melatonin is produced from the amino acid tryptophan, whereas melanin (the pigment in the skin) is synthesized from the amino acid tyrosine.
