PhysioLogics Melatonin 3 mg
Brand: PhysioLogics · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 3 mg of melatonin, a common dose for sleep support. However, the data we have on the ingredient calcium does not apply to melatonin. Data for melatonin specifically is not available in the provided materials, so we must focus on the general principles of supplement safety.
How it works
Melatonin is a hormone your body naturally produces to regulate your sleep-wake cycle. While the provided data discusses calcium—which supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]—that mechanism is unrelated to this product. For melatonin's specific effects, detailed mechanism data is not available in the information provided.
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for melatonin are not available in the provided data. For the ingredient calcium, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. However, since this product contains melatonin, not calcium, those side effects do not directly apply. No specific side effect data for melatonin was provided.
Our recommendation
Given the lack of specific data on melatonin in the provided materials, we cannot offer a detailed recommendation for this product. For general guidance, you should always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement. If you are considering melatonin, more specific safety and efficacy data would be needed to make an informed decision.
