Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that this product contains melatonin, but the data provided does not contain specific clinical studies or adverse event reports for melatonin itself. For the ingredient calcium, the data indicates it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, without specific data on melatonin, we cannot provide a full assessment of this product's efficacy for sleep or other uses. You should be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density through mineral deposition and helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For melatonin specifically, data on its mechanism is not available in the provided information.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in the database. For calcium specifically, side effects can include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. High levels in the blood and urine can also cause poor muscle tone and poor kidney function [NIH ODS]. Data on side effects for melatonin is not available in the provided information.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Because data for melatonin is not available in the provided information, we cannot confirm the safety or efficacy of this specific product. If you are considering this supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications. Data not available to support a specific dosage recommendation for this product.
