Nature Made Triple Omega
Brand: Nature Made · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nature Made Triple Omega is a combination product, but the data provided only covers one of its potential ingredients: Calcium. Based on the available data, we cannot assess the omega-3 components. For the calcium content, our assessment is that it supports bone health, but you must be aware of significant safety considerations and drug interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for maintaining strong bones as you age. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for Nature Made Triple Omega are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in your blood and urine 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommendation on this product. Based on the calcium data, you should be cautious: do not exceed the RDA for calcium without medical supervision, and take calcium supplements at least two hours apart from the medications listed above. For the omega-3 components, data is not available to make a recommendation [NIH ODS].
