Rockland County Warns Residents of Dangerous Adulterated 'Cat's Claw' Supplements

Harmonious Hearts issued a public health alert in Rockland County regarding 'Cat's Claw' tablets that contain dangerous, semi-synthetic kratom compounds. These products, often sold under the brand 'Buzzers,' are mislabeled and contain illegal Schedule 1 substances that mimic opioid effects. While natural cat's claw is safe, these adulterated items pose severe health risks and are being sold in local gas stations and smoke shops despite state bans.

Preliminary Study Links Chronic Melatonin Use to 90% Higher Heart Failure Risk

A large observational study presented at the American Heart Association’s 2025 Scientific Sessions found that adults with chronic insomnia who used melatonin for at least one year had a 90% higher risk of developing heart failure over five years. The study also noted higher rates of hospitalization and death among long-term users, though it cannot prove causation.

FDA Recalls Magnesium Glycinate Gummies Over Undeclared Melatonin

The FDA issued a Class II recall for 13,920 bottles of Adndale magnesium glycinate gummies manufactured by Dkiru LLC (Dublin, Ireland) due to undeclared melatonin, with recalls announced June 19 (starting May 12) and tied to LOTs 190824, 240923, and 240929 (EXP 08/19/2026, 09/22/2026, 09/28/2026). The Cleveland Clinic notes excessive magnesium can cause GI symptoms, low blood pressure and other issues, with general daily allowances around 400 mg for men and 320 mg for women. Consumers should check the UPC 86000878455111 and the recalled lots, and dispose/return if affected.

Potential Heart Risks Linked to Long-Term Melatonin Use

New preliminary research suggests that long-term use of melatonin supplements may be associated with an increased risk of heart failure and higher mortality, raising concerns about its safety beyond short-term use. The study analyzed health records from over 130,000 adults and found significant associations, though limitations in methodology mean further research is needed. Despite its popularity and general safety for short-term use, these findings highlight the importance of cautious long-term consumption and further investigation into melatonin's effects.

Long-Term Melatonin Use May Increase Heart Risks, Doctors Warn

A five-year study of over 130,000 adults suggests that long-term melatonin use for insomnia may be associated with increased risks of heart failure and death, challenging its reputation as a safe sleep aid. The research found that regular melatonin users had a significantly higher likelihood of heart failure, hospitalization, and mortality, prompting calls for further investigation into its cardiovascular safety.

Exploring Creatine: Benefits, Usage, and Demographic Trends

Exploring Creatine: Benefits, Usage, and Demographic Trends

Creatine, commonly used for muscle strength, also offers cognitive benefits, especially when the brain is stressed or sleep-deprived. Research shows it can improve processing speed, working memory, and potentially mitigate effects of depression and brain injuries. Effective doses for mental benefits are higher than those for muscle, typically between 10-25 grams daily for short periods, with safety generally well-established. However, high doses should be used cautiously and under medical supervision, especially for individuals with preexisting health conditions.

Is Creatine the Right Supplement for You?

Creatine supplementation, popular among athletes, is being explored for broader clinical applications such as managing muscular and neurologic disorders and supporting older adults' muscle health. It is generally safe at recommended doses, with no significant adverse effects, but caution is advised for individuals with renal or hepatic conditions, pregnant women, and children. While evidence supports its use in sports medicine, more research is needed to confirm benefits in neurologic and muscle disorders and in geriatric populations.
