Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nature's Answer Melatonin+ 5 mg contains calcium, but the data on its specific benefits and risks is incomplete. For the ingredient calcium, our assessment is that it plays a key role in bone health, but the product's overall value is unclear due to missing data on its other ingredients.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific data for this product is not available. For the calcium ingredient, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommendation on this product. Because the product label information is missing, we cannot confirm the dosage of calcium or the presence of other active ingredients. Talk to your doctor before using this supplement, especially if you take any medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS].
