Foods Plus Melatonin 3 mg
Brand: Foods Plus · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 3 mg of melatonin per serving, but the critical ingredient for bone and muscle health is calcium. For general wellness, we assess that calcium is a well-supported mineral, but the data provided does not list a specific dosage of calcium in this product. Without that number, we cannot confirm you are getting a meaningful amount for bone health. The total adverse event reports across all supplements in the FDA database is 592,059, but specific side effects for this product are not available in the provided data.
How it works
Think of calcium as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is essential for maintaining strong bones as you age. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for side effects specific to this product. However, for calcium in general, 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]. The total FDA adverse event database contains 592,059 reports across all supplements [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Because the calcium dosage in this product is not provided in the data, we cannot recommend it as a reliable source for bone or muscle support. If you are taking medications, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. For a clear recommendation, choose a supplement with a labeled calcium amount. Data not available for a specific dosage or side effect count for this product.
