The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but specific report counts for Natrol Liquid Melatonin 5 mg are not available in the data provided [FDA data]. The data on calcium warns that high levels can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. However, these side effects are for calcium, not melatonin.

Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to use caution. Because the data provided identifies the ingredient as calcium rather than melatonin, the product labeling appears inconsistent with the available data. You should verify the active ingredient list on the product label. If you are seeking a melatonin supplement, consult your healthcare provider for a product with clear, evidence-based data.
