Nature Made Melatonin 3 mg
Brand: Nature Made · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the product you are asking about is Nature Made Melatonin 3 mg. However, our assessment must be honest about the data provided: the ingredient listed in the supplement facts is calcium, not melatonin. This means the supplement facts on the label you provided do not match the product name. For the ingredient listed, calcium, the data shows it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in nerve signaling. It supports bone density by aiding in mineral deposition and helps your muscles relax by supporting nerve function [NIH ODS]. You need adequate calcium throughout your life to maintain strong bones.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplements, but specific report counts for calcium are not available. The data indicates that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high levels of calcium in your 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].
Our recommendation
We recommend you verify the product label carefully. If you intended to take melatonin, the provided data does not support that product. If you are looking to supplement with calcium, be cautious with total intake from all sources. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Always take calcium supplements separately from these medications. Do not exceed the recommended daily allowance without consulting your doctor [NIH ODS].
