AvPak Melatonin 3 mg
Brand: AvPak · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that while calcium is essential for bone health, the AvPak Melatonin 3 mg product you are asking about does not contain calcium. Data not available for this specific product regarding its active ingredient. For general calcium supplementation, our assessment is that you should approach it with caution, as the data shows potential risks alongside benefits [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [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 [NIH ODS]. 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
Because the AvPak Melatonin 3 mg product data is not available regarding its specific ingredients, I cannot recommend it based on the provided information. For general calcium supplementation, you should get your blood levels checked and discuss with your doctor before starting, especially if you take any medications listed in the interactions section [NIH ODS].
