Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Lemon is a fish oil supplement, but the data provided does not contain specific ingredient amounts for this product. The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient, fish oil (providing omega-3 fatty acids), is widely used. However, the only specific data available here is for calcium, which is not listed as an ingredient in this product [See label]. Because of this, we must focus on general principles. For calcium, the data shows it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. For this specific product, data on its mechanism is not available.
How it works
Based on the data provided, the ingredient calcium works as a master regulator for bone density and mineral deposition, and it also supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, since this product is labeled as "Ultimate Omega Lemon," it is likely a fish oil supplement. The specific mechanism for fish oil from this product is not described in the provided data. For calcium, think of it as a key building block that helps your muscles relax after contracting and keeps your bones strong [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but the number specifically for this product is not provided [FDA data]. For the ingredient calcium (which is not confirmed to be in this product), safety data indicates that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood can cause 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]. For this specific product, side effect data is not available.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Without specific ingredient amounts or adverse event data for this exact product, we cannot provide a detailed safety or efficacy assessment. If you are considering this supplement, consult your healthcare provider. For general calcium intake, the data shows it can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, so take calcium supplements at a different time than these medications [NIH ODS]. For Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Lemon, data is not available to support a specific recommendation.
