Eurovital Melatonin 1 mg

Our assessment

The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in this product, calcium, is a well-studied mineral with clear benefits for bone health. However, for a product labeled as Eurovital Melatonin 1 mg, the data provided does not confirm the presence of melatonin; the ingredient listed in the data is calcium. Our assessment is that you should verify the label of this specific product, as the data here describes a calcium supplement, not a melatonin supplement. Data not available for melatonin-specific benefits or mechanisms from the provided sources.

How it works

If this product contains calcium, think of it as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on melatonin, we cannot describe how a melatonin component would work.

Safety profile

The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, side effects can include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and frequent urination at very high levels. High calcium intake may also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Data not available on side effects for melatonin from the provided FDA data.

Our recommendation

Check the product label carefully to confirm the ingredient. If it is a calcium supplement, consider the recommended dietary allowance for your age and do not exceed high doses without medical supervision. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. If you intended to purchase a melatonin supplement, this product may not be suitable based on the available data.

Supplement labels contain several key sections regulated by the FDA:

• Serving Size — The recommended amount per dose. Always check this — some products require multiple capsules per serving.
• Amount Per Serving — Shows the quantity of each nutrient in the product, typically in IU (International Units), mg (milligrams), or mcg (micrograms).
• % Daily Value (%DV) — Indicates how much a nutrient in a serving contributes to a daily diet. 5% DV or less is low; 20% DV or more is high.
• Other Ingredients — Lists inactive ingredients like fillers, binders, and capsule materials (e.g., gelatin, cellulose, magnesium stearate).
• Suggested Use — The manufacturer's recommended directions for taking the supplement, including timing and dosage.
