Our assessment
The evidence shows that Kirkman Melatonin Plus Magnesium is a combination supplement, but the data provided only contains information on one of its potential ingredients: Calcium. Based on the available data, we cannot assess the efficacy or specific role of melatonin or magnesium in this product. For the calcium component, our assessment is that it supports bone health, but you must be aware of significant safety considerations [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Data on calcium shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium in your 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]. You should also know that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific melatonin and magnesium ingredients in this product. For the calcium component, we recommend you do not exceed the RDA without medical supervision. Talk to your doctor before starting this supplement, especially if you take any prescription medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease [NIH ODS].
