Nature's Bounty Triple Strength Melatonin 3 mg
Brand: Nature's Bounty · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, not melatonin. Our assessment is that you should be aware of this critical distinction. The supplement is marketed as a melatonin product, but the data provided only covers the ingredient calcium. We cannot make any claims about the effectiveness or safety of the melatonin component based on the information supplied. Data not available for melatonin.
How it works
Based on the data provided, the ingredient calcium works in two key ways. First, it supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and mineral deposition. Second, it aids in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to confirm that this product actually contains the ingredient you intend to take. If you are seeking melatonin, the data provided does not support any analysis of that ingredient. If you are considering calcium, be aware of the potential side effects and interactions. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
