Our assessment
The evidence shows that the product Allergy Research Group Slow Motion Melatonin contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that calcium is essential for your health, but you need to be careful with the dosage. The primary role of calcium is in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signaling molecule for your nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's adverse events. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in your 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
Start by checking if you already get enough calcium from your diet. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these, separate your calcium supplement by at least two hours. Data not available for a specific daily dose for this product, so consult your healthcare provider to determine the right amount for you.
