HoltraCeuticals Melatonin 3 mg SL
Brand: HoltraCeuticals · Form: LOZENGE [E0174] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is a source of calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, we must be clear: the data provided does not confirm that HoltraCeuticals Melatonin 3 mg SL actually contains melatonin. The ingredient list only specifies calcium, so our assessment is based solely on that mineral. For a general audience, calcium supplementation is well-supported, but the specific product label here is incomplete.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves. It supports bone density through mineralization and helps relax your muscles after contraction [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body will pull it from your bones, which can weaken them over time.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but no report count is provided for this specific product [FDA data]. For calcium generally, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels 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 absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this product based on the data provided. The label indicates it is a melatonin product, yet the only ingredient listed is calcium. This inconsistency is a major red flag. If you need a calcium supplement, choose a product with a clear, complete label and talk to your doctor first. If you need melatonin, seek a product that explicitly lists melatonin on its ingredient panel. Always verify the label before use [NIH ODS].
