CHK Nutrition Melatonin 3 mg
Brand: CHK Nutrition · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 3 mg of melatonin per serving. While melatonin is a popular supplement, data on this specific formulation is limited. The calcium content is not listed on the label, so we cannot assess its impact here. For general calcium guidance, the data confirms it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Melatonin works by signaling to your body that it is time to sleep, acting as a master regulator of your circadian rhythm. For calcium, think of it as a structural support — it helps your bones stay dense and supports proper nerve and muscle function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, but side effect data specific to this melatonin product is not available. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start with a low dose of melatonin, such as 0.5 to 1 mg, and only use it short-term for sleep issues. Since this product provides 3 mg, you may want to consider a lower dose option. For calcium, the data on specific risks means you should not exceed the RDA without medical guidance [NIH ODS].
