Our assessment
Our assessment: For the product Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Lemon, the primary active ingredient is fish oil, which provides omega-3 fatty acids. However, the specific data provided pertains to calcium, not omega-3s. Based on the data available, the evidence shows that calcium is a mineral essential for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. For the specific supplement you asked about, data on omega-3s is not available in this dataset.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in your nervous system. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in its database. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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].
Our recommendation
If you are taking Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Lemon for its omega-3 content, data for that specific ingredient is not available here. If you are considering calcium, our recommendation is to get your blood levels checked before supplementing. Be cautious with high doses and always separate calcium supplements from the medications listed above by at least two hours [NIH ODS].
