AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas Melatonin 12 mg
Brand: AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 12 mg of melatonin, which is significantly higher than the typical 0.5 mg to 5 mg doses used in most clinical research. For general sleep support, starting with a lower dose is usually more appropriate. Data not available on the specific efficacy of this 12 mg dose from the provided studies.
How it works
Data not available on the mechanism of melatonin from the provided data. However, the product label lists no other active ingredients. The ingredient calcium, which is not in this product, supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement ingredients, but no specific report count is available for melatonin alone from the provided data [FDA data]. High calcium intakes, not applicable here, can cause constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend starting with a much lower melatonin dose, typically 0.5 mg to 3 mg, taken 30 to 60 minutes before bed. A 12 mg dose may be too strong for most people and could lead to next-day drowsiness. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement, especially at high doses.
