Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but there are important nuances regarding supplementation. For the Nature's Way Melatonin Lozenge 2.5 mg product you asked about, the data provided does not contain any information on melatonin itself — only on calcium. Data not available for melatonin-specific benefits or risks from this supplement.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, some research suggests 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the data provided only covers calcium and not melatonin, we cannot make a specific recommendation for the Nature's Way Melatonin Lozenge 2.5 mg product. If you are considering a calcium supplement, be aware of the potential risks and medication interactions listed above, and talk to your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen [NIH ODS].
