Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but it requires careful dosing and monitoring. For the product NutriCology Melatonin, the data available is for the ingredient calcium, not melatonin. Our assessment is that you should not assume this supplement provides melatonin benefits based on the ingredient list provided. Data not available for melatonin itself.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body’s structure and function. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your skeleton for density and strength. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, assisting with muscle relaxation and proper nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Because this product is labeled NutriCology Melatonin but the only ingredient data provided is for calcium, we recommend you verify the actual label. If you are seeking melatonin, data not available for that ingredient. For calcium, stick to the RDA from food sources first. Calcium can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin — take these medications at least two hours apart from calcium [NIH ODS].
