NutraBio Omega-3 Fish Oil
Brand: NutraBio · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the main ingredient in this product, calcium, is well-supported for bone health. However, this is not a standard Omega-3 fish oil supplement; its primary active ingredient is calcium, not fish oil [NIH ODS]. You should verify the label carefully, as the data provided indicates this product may be misleadingly named.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For bone health, it works best alongside vitamin D and magnesium, but those are not listed in the data for this product.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific reports for this product are not provided. For calcium specifically, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our assessment: Do not use this product as an Omega-3 source. The data shows it contains calcium, not fish oil. If you need an Omega-3 supplement, choose a product specifically labeled for EPA and DHA content. For calcium, most adults need 1,000–1,200 mg daily from diet and supplements combined [NIH ODS]. Talk to your doctor before starting, especially if you take any medications listed above [NIH ODS].
