Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but the data we have does not support using Health Star Melatonin 1 mg for this purpose. Our assessment is that you should not rely on this product to provide calcium, as it is not listed as an ingredient. For calcium needs, data is provided on the mineral itself, but not on this specific supplement.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also promotes neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, there is no data available on how Health Star Melatonin 1 mg works, as it does not contain calcium.
Safety profile
Data not available for this product specifically. For calcium supplements in general, some research suggests that high calcium 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]. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products [FDA data], but the report count for this specific product is not available.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to not use Health Star Melatonin 1 mg for calcium supplementation, as it does not contain calcium. If you need calcium, you should look for a product that specifically lists calcium as an ingredient. Speak with your healthcare provider about appropriate calcium sources and dosages for your individual needs [NIH ODS].
