Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Lemon
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is labeled as Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Lemon, but the active ingredient data provided is for calcium. Our assessment is that this creates a critical information gap. Based solely on the data provided, we cannot confirm the omega-3 content, dosage, or specific health benefits of this supplement. For the ingredient calcium, the data supports its role in bone health, but you should be aware of significant safety considerations [NIH ODS].
How it works
If this product contains calcium, it works through two primary mechanisms. First, it supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your bone matrix for density and strength. Second, it aids neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly after contraction [NIH ODS]. Data not available for omega-3 mechanisms.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are data not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine calcium 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to proceed with caution. Because the data provided does not include omega-3 content or dosing, you cannot verify this product meets your needs. If you are taking calcium, be aware that it can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting your pharmacist or doctor before use, especially if you take any prescription medications.
