Nature's Bounty Melatonin 1 mg
Brand: Nature's Bounty · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nature's Bounty Melatonin 1 mg is a common supplement, but we must be clear: the data provided does not contain any specific information on melatonin's benefits, mechanisms, or safety. Our assessment is based entirely on the ingredient calcium, which is listed in the data. For calcium, the data supports its role in bone health, but you should be aware of significant risks at high intakes [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal conductor. It helps your bones mineralize and maintain density, and it supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes are linked to risks of heart disease, prostate cancer, and abnormal heart rhythms. Side effects from high blood calcium include poor muscle tone, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and frequent urination [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available for melatonin-specific dosing or efficacy. For calcium, you should be cautious with high doses and be aware that supplements can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine. Take calcium separately from these medications. Our recommendation: consult your healthcare provider before starting this product, as the data does not support a specific benefit or safe dose for melatonin [NIH ODS].
