Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but the data available does not support a specific recommendation for Purity Products Triple Action Omega-3. The only ingredient data provided is for calcium, and this product is labeled as an omega-3 supplement, creating a mismatch. Our assessment is that this product cannot be evaluated based on the data provided [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all products in its database, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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]. Data on side effects specific to this product from the FDA data is not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend Purity Products Triple Action Omega-3 for the purpose of calcium supplementation because the product label indicates it is an omega-3 product, and the data provided only covers calcium. For calcium needs, you should get your blood levels checked and discuss supplementation with your healthcare provider, as high intakes carry risks [NIH ODS]. For this specific product, data on its intended use and effects is not available.
