Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Lemon is a fish oil supplement, and the data provided does not specify its exact omega-3 content per serving. However, the key ingredient to evaluate here is not the fish oil itself, but the calcium content, which is listed as a separate ingredient. Our assessment is that you should be aware of the calcium content in this product if you are taking it, as high calcium intakes can pose risks. Data on the specific omega-3 content and its benefits is not available in the provided information.
How it works
Calcium works as a bone mineralization agent, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also aids in neuromuscular relaxation, helping with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the fish oil component, data on its mechanism is not available.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Regarding calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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 [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation

If you are taking this supplement, be mindful of your total daily calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements.
