Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that the ingredient calcium is a well-studied mineral, but the specific product Schiff Melatonin Plus is not supported by the data provided. We cannot assess its effectiveness because the data does not list melatonin or any other ingredients in this product. For the calcium component, the data confirms it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural and signaling mineral — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].

High blood and urine calcium 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]. The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: You should not rely on this product based on the data provided. Because the data does not include information on melatonin or the other ingredients in Schiff Melatonin Plus, we cannot give a confident recommendation. For calcium, you should be aware that it can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
