Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Healthy For Life Omega 3-6-9 is calcium. Our assessment: calcium is a well-studied mineral essential for bone health, but its benefits must be weighed against specific risks, especially at high supplemental doses [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block and a signaler. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements in this category. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from high blood and urine calcium levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the specific dose of calcium in this product. Before taking this supplement, check your current calcium intake from food and other supplements. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend discussing your total calcium intake with your healthcare provider to avoid excessive levels.
