Spring Valley Melatonin 1 mg
Brand: Spring Valley · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Spring Valley Melatonin 1 mg contains melatonin, not calcium. However, based on the data provided for the ingredient calcium, our assessment is that calcium is a key mineral for bone health, but data on the specific product you asked about is not available. For the ingredient calcium, the data shows it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as the building block for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available for Spring Valley Melatonin 1 mg. For calcium, be aware that it can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
