Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, you should be aware that high calcium intake carries potential risks. The data on this specific liquid melatonin product is limited, so we will focus on the primary active ingredient data provided.
How it works
Think of Calcium as a building block for your skeleton, directly supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data from the FDA includes 592,059 total adverse event reports across all ingredients in the database. For Calcium specifically, safety concerns include 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].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to use this supplement cautiously. Be aware that Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for specific dosing of this product. Consult your doctor before starting, especially if you take any medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease.
