OL Olympian Labs, Inc. Melatonin 3 mg
Brand: OL Olympian Labs, Inc. · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains only calcium as its active ingredient. For a melatonin supplement, this is a critical mismatch. You are taking a calcium supplement, not a sleep aid. If you are seeking melatonin, this product will not provide it. Data for the ingredient calcium is provided, but no data for melatonin is available for this specific product.
How it works
Calcium is a mineral that supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your bones stay dense and your muscles relax after contracting [NIH ODS]. It plays a role in nerve signaling, which is essential for your body to function properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, side effects can include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms at high levels [NIH ODS]. High calcium intakes might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Do not use this product for sleep. It is a calcium supplement, not a melatonin supplement. If you need melatonin, look for a product that lists melatonin as the active ingredient. If you are looking for a calcium supplement, this is appropriate, but you should consult your doctor about your specific calcium needs and potential medication interactions [NIH ODS].
