Our assessment
The evidence shows that Kyolic Omega-3 is a product that contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data provided does not include specific information on the omega-3 content, dosage, or benefits of this particular product. Our assessment is that you should not rely on this supplement for omega-3 fatty acids until more complete product information is available [Data not available].
How it works
Based on the data, the ingredient calcium works through bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend Kyolic Omega-3 as a reliable source of omega-3 fatty acids because the data provided does not specify the omega-3 content or its benefits. If you are seeking a calcium supplement, discuss your intake with a healthcare provider, as high levels carry significant risks [NIH ODS]. For omega-3 needs, look for a product with a clear label showing EPA and DHA content. Data on this product's specific benefits is not available.
