Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Lemon
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
Our assessment: Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Lemon is a fish oil supplement. The evidence shows that the key ingredient in this product is not omega-3 fatty acids, but rather calcium, based on the data provided. For general bone and nerve health, calcium is a well-studied mineral. However, the specific benefits of omega-3s for this product are not supported by the data we have.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is crucial 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 a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all supplements. Specific side effects from this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact dosage of calcium in this product. If you are taking this for omega-3s, the data does not support that benefit here. If you are taking it for calcium, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend discussing this specific product with your healthcare provider to confirm it meets your health goals.
