Nordic Naturals Omega-3D Lemon
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nordic Naturals Omega-3D Lemon is a combination supplement, but the data provided is specifically on calcium, not the product itself. For the ingredient calcium, our assessment is that it is essential for bone health, but you must be cautious with dosing and potential risks. The data confirms that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, data for the specific Omega-3D formula is not available from the provided information, so we focus on the calcium component.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton and a messenger for your nerves and muscles. It works by supporting bone density and mineral deposition, which keeps your bones strong [NIH ODS]. It also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly through neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, safety concerns are significant. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high levels 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Report counts for calcium-specific side effects are not provided.
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the label of your Nordic Naturals Omega-3D Lemon product for the exact calcium content. If you are taking this for calcium, start with a low dose and get your blood calcium levels checked. Be aware of the serious side effects at high levels and always take calcium supplements separately from medications like thyroid hormone or antibiotics [NIH ODS]. For the Omega-3 component, data is not available to make a specific recommendation. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
