Nordic Naturals Omega-3D Lemon
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that for the product Nordic Naturals Omega-3D Lemon, the data provided is incomplete. While the product label and ingredients are listed, the only ingredient with detailed data is calcium. The data does not confirm the presence or levels of omega-3s or vitamin D in this specific product. For the calcium content, our assessment is that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but the provided data does not specify the dose in this supplement [NIH ODS].
How it works
Based on the data provided, calcium works through two primary mechanisms. It is essential for bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. Additionally, it plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for supplements broadly. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels of calcium in the blood and urine 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].
Our recommendation
Because the data provided does not specify the amount of omega-3s, vitamin D, or calcium in this product, we cannot make a specific dosing recommendation. If you are taking this supplement for its omega-3 or vitamin D content, data for those ingredients is not available. For the calcium component, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of these medications.
