Brand: Country Life · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Country Life Melatonin 1 mg is a standard low-dose supplement intended to support sleep. However, based on the data provided, we cannot confirm specific benefits or risks for this exact product. The data available pertains to calcium, not melatonin, so we must be clear about what the information actually supports. For melatonin specifically, data not available from the provided sources.
How it works
While the provided data focuses on calcium, you should know that calcium works as a bone mineralization agent, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and also aids neuromuscular relaxation through muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This mechanism is unrelated to melatonin's role in sleep regulation. For melatonin's mechanism, data not available.
Safety profile
Total FDA adverse event reports across all supplements in the database number 592,059 [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and high levels in 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]. For melatonin side effects, data not available from the provided FDA data.
Our recommendation
We cannot make a specific recommendation for Country Life Melatonin 1 mg based solely on the available data. If you are considering this product, consult your healthcare provider before starting. Be aware that calcium supplements can reduce absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. For melatonin-specific guidance, data not available.
