Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 3 mg of melatonin, but our data does not include specific efficacy or safety information for melatonin itself. The data provided focuses on calcium, which is not listed as an ingredient in this product. Data not available on melatonin's specific benefits from our provided sources.
How it works
Since melatonin data is not available in our provided sources, we cannot explain how this ingredient works. For context, calcium, an unrelated mineral, supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. This does not apply to your product.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for melatonin are not available. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can cause poor muscle tone, constipation, nausea, weight loss, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. These side effects are not directly tied to your melatonin product.
Our recommendation
Because our data does not include information on melatonin, we cannot make a specific recommendation for this product. We advise you to consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take medications, as calcium supplements can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Data not available for melatonin-specific guidance.
