Nature Made Triple Omega
Brand: Nature Made · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in this product, calcium, is essential for bone health, but the data does not support a specific benefit for the "Triple Omega" formulation as it is sold under a brand label. Our assessment: Calcium is well-supported for bone mineralization, but you should be aware of the risks and interactions associated with high intakes [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 also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. However, the FDA adverse event database contains 592,059 total reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can also lead to poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, and low phosphate levels [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. The data shows calcium can reduce the absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend you take this supplement at a different time than these medications and consult your healthcare provider before starting [NIH ODS].
