Neptune Health Omega 7850
Brand: Neptune Health · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but Neptune Health Omega 7850 is a fish oil product and does not contain calcium. Data for this specific supplement is not available. For calcium generally, our assessment is that it supports bone density and neuromuscular function, but you must be cautious with dosing due to significant safety risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your skeleton to maintain density and strength. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific data for Neptune Health Omega 7850 is not available. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Since this product is an omega-3 supplement, not a calcium product, we recommend you verify the label for your intended use. For calcium, do not exceed the RDA without medical supervision. Be aware that calcium supplements can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Always consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting a new supplement.
