Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nordic Naturals Complete Omega Lemon is a supplement containing calcium. While calcium is essential for bone health, you need to be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with this ingredient. Our assessment is that this product can be part of a healthy regimen, but only if you carefully monitor your total calcium intake from all sources and medications.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals and maintain bone density, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation, which allows your muscles to relax and your nerves to signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels of calcium in your 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 [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to use this supplement with caution. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. You should take this supplement at a different time than these medications. Data on the specific amount of calcium per serving is not available, so you must check the product label and calculate your total daily intake from food and other supplements to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS].
