NutraBio Melatonin 3 mg
Brand: NutraBio · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 3 mg of melatonin per serving, but the primary ingredient with available data is calcium from the label. For calcium, the data supports its role in bone health, but you should be aware of important safety considerations. Data for melatonin specifically is not available in the provided information.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for two key functions: it supports bone mineralization to maintain bone density, and it facilitates neuromuscular relaxation to support proper nerve signaling and muscle function [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the structural foundation for your skeleton and the calming signal for your nerves.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. For calcium specifically, 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Given that this product is labeled as melatonin but the data provided is for calcium, you should be cautious. If you are taking this for sleep support, data for melatonin is not available in the provided information. If you are using it for calcium, be aware of the potential risks and medication interactions. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider to determine if this supplement is appropriate for your specific needs and to discuss your current medication list [NIH ODS].
