Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nordic Naturals Nordic Omega-3 Jellies are a supplement containing calcium. Calcium’s role in the body is well-documented, but you should be aware of the specific benefits and risks before using this product. Data not available for other ingredients in this specific product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural support for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through bone mineralization and also helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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].
Our recommendation
Before taking this product, you should consult your healthcare provider, especially if you take any of the medications listed above. Be cautious about total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements, to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS].
