Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a foundational mineral for bone health, but it is not a simple "more is better" supplement. For the Natural Nutra Melatonin product, we have no data on calcium content, so our assessment applies to calcium supplements generally. Data not available for this specific product's calcium content.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key messenger for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific numbers for calcium are not broken out here. High calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Excess calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical guidance. Be aware that 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]. For the Natural Nutra Melatonin product, we cannot recommend it as a calcium source because data not available.
