MET-Rx Triple Omega
Brand: MET-Rx · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that MET-Rx Triple Omega contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, we cannot assess the full effectiveness of this specific product because the ingredient amounts are not provided on the label. You should focus on the calcium content if that is your primary reason for considering this supplement.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal messenger for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves communicate properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data for this specific product is limited. We recommend you check the label for exact calcium dosage per serving. If you are taking any of the medications listed, take this supplement at least two hours apart from them [NIH ODS]. For general bone health, you should also ensure adequate vitamin D and magnesium intake, but data for those ingredients in this product is not available.
