Melatonin and Aging?

Saw this referenced in the AARP Bulletin. Seems melatonin may act as an antioxidant, reducing the quantity of free radicals in the cells--which may slow the effects of aging.
As much of this stuff as some of us take, I'd appreciate it if anyone would let me know whether they've reached the age of--say--140. Thusfar, I think we're only talking about immortal chickens, though.

Many thanks,

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Ok, so now you've found out my "secret" -- it's the melatonin......  But don't tell anyone else -- they all think I'm just naturally 29....
Hugs BD
