Our assessment
The evidence shows that while calcium is essential for your bone health, the specific product Nature Made Melatonin 5 mg is not a calcium supplement. Our assessment must rely only on the data provided for the ingredient calcium, and we cannot evaluate the melatonin product itself beyond what is listed. For calcium, the data confirms its role in bone mineralization and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in your nervous system. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
You should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available on specific effectiveness or dosing for the Nature Made Melatonin 5 mg product. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
