Healthy Choice Naturals Omega Naturals Fish Oil 1000
Brand: Healthy Choice Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, not fish oil. Data for fish oil is not available. For calcium, our assessment is that it is a critical mineral for bone health, but you must be cautious with dosing to avoid serious risks. We cannot evaluate this product as a fish oil supplement because the ingredient list does not match the product name [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the structural building block for your skeleton and a key player in your nervous system's daily function.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels can cause poor muscle tone, kidney issues, low phosphate, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium also reduces absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Do not rely on this product for fish oil benefits. If you need calcium, you should get it from food sources first and consult your doctor before supplementing, especially if you take any medications. Start with a low dose and have your blood levels checked. The data shows significant risks at high intakes, so professional guidance is essential [NIH ODS].
