Our assessment
The evidence shows that while this product contains Lemon Balm, the provided data specifically addresses Calcium, not Lemon Balm.

Data not available for Lemon Balm-specific benefits from the provided sources.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it promotes neuromuscular relaxation by aiding muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For this specific product, detailed mechanism of action for Lemon Balm is not available in the provided data.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should not exceed the recommended daily intake of calcium unless directed by your doctor. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
