Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Lemon
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Lemon is a fish oil supplement, but our assessment focuses on the primary ingredient listed in the data: Calcium. For general bone and nerve health, calcium is well-supported, but the data does not provide specific information about the omega-3 content of this product. We must base our analysis solely on the data provided, which is for calcium as a mineral [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, making your skeleton strong. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after they fire [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's adverse events. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood can cause poor muscle tone, 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].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Since the data provided is for calcium, not the specific omega-3s in this product, you should consult the product label for dosage instructions. If you are taking calcium, be aware it can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Always take calcium supplements separately from these medications. For this specific Nordic Naturals product, data on its omega-3 content and benefits is not available here.
