Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence on this specific product is limited. The active ingredient, melatonin, is not covered by the data provided. The data shows that the supplement contains Calcium, a mineral important for bone health, but the product label for "Allergy Research Group Sustained Release Melatonin" does not list calcium as an ingredient [See label]. The data available focuses on calcium, not melatonin, so we must be cautious in applying these findings to your product.
How it works
If this product contained calcium, it would support your body through bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, since the product is labeled as a sustained-release melatonin supplement, the primary mechanism for this specific product is data not available from the provided information.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but this number is not specific to melatonin or this product [FDA data]. For calcium, which is not listed as an ingredient in your product, safety risks include that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood 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]. For melatonin specifically, side effect data is not available from the provided data.
Our recommendation
Because the data provided pertains to calcium and not melatonin, we cannot make a recommendation for this specific product based on the evidence given. We recommend you consult the product label directly for ingredient and dosage information. For general supplement safety, always discuss new supplements with your healthcare provider, especially if you take medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, or levothyroxine, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. For melatonin-specific guidance, please seek data from a reliable source, as it is not available here.
