However, based on the data provided, the active ingredient in this specific supplement is not calcium, and we have no specific data on melatonin from the provided sources. For the ingredient calcium, data is available. Our assessment is that without specific data on melatonin from the provided sources, we cannot make a claim about this product's effectiveness or safety. Data on the calcium content of this product is not available.
How it works
For the ingredient calcium, the mechanism involves bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, as well as neuromuscular relaxation for muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the melatonin in this product, specific mechanism of action data is not available from the provided sources.
Safety profile
For the ingredient calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. The total number of adverse event reports for all supplements in the FDA database is 592,059 [FDA data]. Specific side effects and report counts for melatonin are not available in the provided data.
