CVS Health Melatonin 10 mg
Brand: CVS Health · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that melatonin 10 mg is a high-dose supplement. While melatonin is commonly used for sleep support, this specific product's data is limited. Our assessment is based on the ingredient data provided, which is for calcium, not melatonin. For melatonin specifically, data is not available in the provided information.
How it works
Based on the data provided, we cannot describe how melatonin works. The mechanism data supplied is for calcium, which supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. For melatonin's mechanism of action, data is not available.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data]. For this specific CVS Health Melatonin 10 mg product, side effect data is not available. However, based on the calcium data provided, high intakes of that mineral might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot make a specific recommendation for this product because the provided data does not include information on melatonin. Data is not available for its effectiveness, safety, or proper dosing. You should consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially at a 10 mg dose. For calcium, be aware that it can reduce absorption of medications like tetracycline antibiotics and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
