AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas Melatonin 1 mg Strawberry Flavor

Our assessment

The evidence shows that this product contains melatonin, but the data provided does not include any specific studies or clinical information about melatonin itself. Our assessment is based on the ingredient listed on the label, and for the specific ingredient melatonin, data is not available in the provided materials. For the mineral calcium, which is included in the NIH ODS data, it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].

How it works

Based on the data provided, calcium functions through bone mineralization, which helps support bone density and mineral deposition, and neuromuscular relaxation, which supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the melatonin ingredient in this specific product, no mechanism of action data is available.

Safety profile

FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium, safety data indicates that 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]. For melatonin, specific side effect data is not available.

Our recommendation

You should be cautious because the data provided does not include any studies, dosage information, or safety data specific to melatonin. For the calcium component, you should be aware that it can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Since data on the primary ingredient melatonin is not available, we cannot make a confident recommendation for this specific product. Consult your healthcare provider before use.
