NutraBio Melatonin 3 mg
Brand: NutraBio · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data provided does not include any information specific to a product named "NutraBio Melatonin 3 mg." The ingredient listed in the data is calcium, not melatonin. Based on the available data, our assessment must focus on calcium supplements. For this product specifically, data on its intended ingredient (melatonin) is not available.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. These functions are critical for maintaining strong bones and proper muscle function.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the provided data does not contain information about melatonin, we cannot make a recommendation for the product as labeled. For calcium, we advise you to be cautious with high-dose supplements and to discuss any use with your healthcare provider, especially if you take other medications. Data on the specific intended ingredient (melatonin) is not available.
