Martin Avenue Pharmacy Melatonin 1 mg Sublingual
Brand: Martin Avenue Pharmacy · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but it is not a primary ingredient in this product, which is labeled as Melatonin 1 mg. Data for melatonin is not available in the provided materials. For calcium specifically, our assessment is that most adults can meet their needs through diet, and high-dose supplementation carries notable risks that you should understand before considering it [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and density through a process of mineral deposition, and it also aids neuromuscular relaxation by supporting proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that 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 this product is labeled as Melatonin 1 mg, and no specific data on melatonin is provided, we cannot make a recommendation for its use. For calcium, we advise you to prioritize food sources and consult your healthcare provider before taking any supplement, especially if you take medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS]. Data not available for melatonin-specific recommendations.
