OL Olympian Labs Melatonin 10 mg
Brand: OL Olympian Labs · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 10 mg of melatonin per serving, which is a high dose. Most adults need only 0.5 mg to 5 mg for sleep support. Data on this specific formulation is limited, and you should be cautious with high-dose melatonin supplements.
How it works
Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. It signals your body that it is time to sleep. However, the specific mechanism for this product is not detailed in the data provided. For calcium, a key mineral in many supplements, it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplements, but specific data for this product is not available. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels in the blood can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start with a much lower dose of melatonin, typically 0.5 mg to 3 mg, taken 30–60 minutes before bed. Do not take 10 mg unless directed by a healthcare provider. If you are taking bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, note that calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting this supplement.
