I recently ordered some O.N. melatonin for sleep and noticed it contains 72 mg calcium. I take M.S.T ZMK and was wondering how much calcium it takes to have a negative effect on zinc. I have skipped a couple of doses of the ZMK to see how effective the mel. was for me,but I would like to contiunue use of ZMK as long as I am not wasting it. Thanks in advance.

Not too big of a deal... in case you didn't know, there isn't a negative interaction between calcium and zinc. The two use the same enzyme for absorbtion, and your body won't be able to absorb both it their entirety if dosed heavily enough together.

If possible, try taking the ZMK 60 minutes before bed and the Melatonin 30 minutes or later afterwards. Really not going to make that big of an impact on ZMK however even if taken together.. it's a low dose of calcium.
