Do melatonin supplements have the same cancer prevention properties as naturally produced melatonin?

Good question. The anticancer activity of melatonin has been reported in many experimental and clinical studies. These studies usually utilize melatonin supplements. I am not aware of any studies that compare melatonin supplements with naturally produced melatonin to see if the anticancer activity is identical or not.
