Our assessment

For the specific ingredient listed, calcium, our assessment is that it plays a well-established role in bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, we cannot assess the effectiveness of Rugby Melatonin 5 mg specifically, as no data on melatonin was supplied.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and is essential for neuromuscular relaxation, which allows your muscles to relax and your nerves to signal properly [NIH ODS]. If you are taking this product for sleep, data on how melatonin works is not available.

The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but the specific report count for Rugby Melatonin 5 mg is not provided.
