You should be aware that the data provided does not confirm the intended health effects or dosage for this specific combination.
How it works
Based on the provided data, the mechanism of action for MCT oil and omega-3s is not available. However, regarding the general ingredient calcium — which is not in this product — it works through bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. For the actual ingredients in this product, specific mechanisms are not described in the provided data.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements [FDA data]. For this specific product, side effect data is not available from the provided information. If this product contained calcium, side effects could include nausea, constipation, and abnormal heart rhythms at high levels, but that data does not apply here [NIH ODS].

You should consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement. Data is not available to support or refute the use of this specific formula based solely on the information provided.
