Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega + CoQ10
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product combines fish oil with CoQ10, but the specific health benefits depend on the individual ingredients. For the calcium content in this formula, our assessment is that it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, the data for this specific combination product is limited, and we must rely on what is known about its individual components.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signaling messenger for your nerves and muscles. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and through neuromuscular relaxation to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Safety data for this specific product is not available from the provided FDA adverse event reports, which total 592059 reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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].
Our recommendation
We recommend you consult with your healthcare provider before taking this supplement. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Without specific study data for this combination product, we cannot provide a dosage recommendation. Proceed with caution and prioritize getting your nutrient levels tested.
