Health Star Melatonin 5 mg
Brand: Health Star · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that melatonin can be a helpful short-term aid for sleep, but the data on your specific product is limited. For calcium, the science is well-established, but the safety profile requires careful attention to dosing. We cannot confirm the specific benefits or risks of the "Health Star Melatonin 5 mg" product because the brand and full ingredient list are labeled as "See label" — meaning specific data for this product is not available.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Melatonin, while not detailed in the data provided, is typically used to help regulate your sleep-wake cycle.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high blood calcium levels 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]. Calcium also reduces absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Specific side effect reports for "Health Star Melatonin 5 mg" are not available in the data provided.
Our recommendation
Start by checking the product label for the full ingredient list and brand name, as these are missing from our data. For calcium, do not exceed recommended dietary intakes without medical supervision due to the serious risks of high levels [NIH ODS]. If you take any medications, especially antibiotics or thyroid medication, take calcium supplements at least two hours apart [NIH ODS]. For melatonin, consult your doctor before starting 5 mg, as the safety data for this specific product is not available.
