Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 5 mg of melatonin per serving, which is a high dose typically used for specific sleep issues. You should be aware that the primary active ingredient here is melatonin, and the data concerning calcium is not directly relevant to this product’s intended effect. Our assessment is that this dosage is strong, and you should start with a lower dose to see how your body responds.
How it works
Melatonin works as a master regulator of your sleep-wake cycle. It signals to your body that it is time to sleep, helping to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. This 5 mg dose is intended to provide a pronounced effect for those with significant sleep onset difficulties. The calcium data provided is not applicable to this product’s mechanism of action.
