Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware of the risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation. Data on the specific omega-3 content of this product is not available.
How it works
Think of the calcium in this product as a foundational mineral — it helps your body maintain strong bones through bone mineralization and supports proper nerve signaling for muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. This mechanism is critical for daily function and long-term skeletal health.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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 absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take medications for thyroid conditions, osteoporosis, or infections. Monitor your total calcium intake from all sources to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS].
