Nordic Naturals Complete Omega Lemon
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
Our assessment: Nordic Naturals Complete Omega Lemon is a fish oil supplement. The evidence shows that the primary ingredient, calcium, supports bone health, but this product is not a significant source of calcium. The data for this specific supplement's omega-3 content and its benefits for heart or brain health is not provided here. You should not rely on this product to meet your calcium needs, as the data provided focuses on calcium, not the omega-3s typically found in fish oil [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium, the ingredient listed in the data, works as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it assists with neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, since this product is a fish oil, the mechanism of action for its omega-3 fatty acids is not covered by the provided data. For the calcium content, you would need to check the label to see if it provides a meaningful amount.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products, but specific report counts for Nordic Naturals Complete Omega Lemon are not available in the provided data. For calcium, the data states that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high calcium levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Interactions with calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Do not use this product as a calcium supplement. If you are taking this for omega-3 benefits, the specific data on efficacy and dosing for that purpose is not provided here. For calcium, the RDA is typically 1,000–1,200 mg daily from food and supplements, but this product's calcium content is not specified [NIH ODS]. Always check the label for exact amounts of all ingredients, and consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications.
