PhysioLogics Melatonin 1 mg
Brand: PhysioLogics · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the PhysioLogics Melatonin 1 mg product, as labeled, contains the ingredient calcium. Our assessment is that this is not a standard melatonin supplement but a calcium-based product. Data on melatonin itself is not available in the provided data. For the calcium component, the data confirms it supports bone density and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves and muscles. It works through bone mineralization to maintain density and supports neuromuscular relaxation for proper nerve signaling and muscle function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in the data. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you be cautious. If you are taking this product for sleep, the data does not support melatonin content here. For the calcium component, be aware it can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Start by verifying the product label matches your health goals. Data on melatonin dosage and effects is not available in the provided information.
