Our assessment
The evidence shows that Good 'N Natural Extra Strength Melatonin 5 mg does not contain calcium as an active ingredient. Data on this specific product's mechanism and safety is not available. For the ingredient calcium, our assessment is that it is a critical mineral for bone health, but you must be cautious with dosing [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium supports your body through bone mineralization, helping deposit minerals to maintain bone density. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
For the melatonin product you asked about, data on its specific effects and safety is not available. If you are seeking a calcium supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. Take calcium separately from these medications [NIH ODS]. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting a new supplement.
