Nordic Naturals Omega LDL
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health and neuromuscular function, but the Nordic Naturals Omega LDL product data does not list calcium as an ingredient. Therefore, our assessment is based on general calcium supplementation principles. For calcium specifically, the data indicates it supports bone mineralization and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, without ingredient data for this specific product, we cannot confirm it contains calcium.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition, and it also supports neuromuscular relaxation for proper muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total 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 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].
Our recommendation
Because the Nordic Naturals Omega LDL label data is marked as "See label" and no specific ingredient list was provided for this product, we cannot make a recommendation about its calcium content. If you are seeking calcium supplementation, consult your healthcare provider to determine if you need it and at what dose. Always check the product label for the actual ingredient list and amounts [NIH ODS].
