Anutra Omega-3s Antioxidants

Our assessment

The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data does not provide specific amounts or details for the "Omega-3s Antioxidants" listed on the label, so we cannot assess their contribution here. For calcium, the data confirms a clear role in bone mineralization and muscle function [NIH ODS].

How it works

Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body may pull it from your bones, weakening them over time.

Safety profile

FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

Start by reviewing your total calcium intake from food and supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. Because this product's label is not provided, we cannot confirm the exact dose. Separate calcium supplements from the medications listed above by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer, speak with your doctor before starting this supplement.

• 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.
