Dr. Sinatra Omega Q Plus
Brand: Dr. Sinatra · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Dr. Sinatra Omega Q Plus contains Calcium, which is a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. For most people, getting calcium from food is preferred, but supplements can help fill gaps. We need to be careful with dosing, as the data shows that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, which keeps your skeleton strong. It also acts as a neuromuscular relaxant, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, 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
Start by assessing your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. If you need a supplement, choose one that provides no more than 500–600 mg per dose for better absorption. Data not available for specific dosing of this product. Always take calcium supplements separately from your thyroid or antibiotic medications [NIH ODS].
