Quicksilver Scientific Liposomal Melatonin
Brand: Quicksilver Scientific · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence for Quicksilver Scientific Liposomal Melatonin is limited. While melatonin is a well-known supplement, data specific to this liposomal formulation is not available. The primary ingredient, melatonin, is not covered in the provided data, so we must rely on general supplement principles. Data on a related ingredient, calcium, shows it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should not assume this product provides those benefits.
How it works
The label lists melatonin as the active ingredient, but the provided data does not include a mechanism of action for melatonin. For context, the data on calcium describes it as supporting bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. This is not how melatonin works. Without specific data on melatonin or this liposomal form, we cannot explain its mechanism.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data]. Data for this specific product is not available. For the ingredient calcium, high levels can cause 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 medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Side effects specific to melatonin are not provided in the data.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: You should be cautious. The data does not support the efficacy or safety of this specific liposomal melatonin product. Side effects and drug interactions for melatonin are not available in the provided data. If you are considering a melatonin supplement, consult your doctor first, especially if you take any medications. Without specific data, we cannot recommend this product.
