Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Xtra Lemon
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, the data available does not provide specific evidence for the Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Xtra Lemon formula itself. Our assessment is that while calcium is a well-researched nutrient, the benefits you get will depend entirely on your individual dietary intake and health status [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator in your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain strong bones by depositing minerals into the bone matrix. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly after they have been stimulated [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, 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 levels in the blood 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
We recommend you first assess your total daily calcium intake from food before adding a supplement. If you are taking any of the listed medications, take calcium at a different time of day to avoid interference. Data not available on the specific dosage or safety profile of this particular Nordic Naturals product, so consult with your doctor before starting [NIH ODS].
