The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but you need to be careful with supplementation. Data indicates that high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. For Natrol Melatonin 3 mg Strawberry, specific data on this product is not available.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, very high levels in your blood can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by getting your calcium from food sources first. If you need a supplement, aim for no more than 500 mg per dose to maximize absorption. Always take it separately from other medications by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific Natrol Melatonin product you asked about is not available, so consult your doctor before combining supplements.
