Nature's Measure Melatonin 10 mg
Brand: Nature's Measure · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product, Nature's Measure Melatonin 10 mg, contains calcium according to the label, but data on the specific benefits of melatonin at this dose is not provided. We must focus on the calcium component. For calcium, the data confirms its role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and high levels in the blood can cause serious side effects [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signaler — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. This mechanism is critical for maintaining strong bones and a healthy nervous system. Data on how the melatonin in this product works is not available from the provided information.
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, side effects from high intake include 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend caution with this product. Without specific data on melatonin at 10 mg, you should not exceed the general guidance for calcium intake. Monitor for side effects like constipation or nausea [NIH ODS]. If you take any medications that interact with calcium, consult your doctor before use. Data not available for a more specific recommendation on the melatonin component.
