Our assessment
The evidence shows that Neptune Health Omega 1530 contains calcium as its primary active ingredient. Our assessment is that calcium is essential for bone health and nerve function, but you need to be cautious about total intake from all sources. The data confirms that calcium supports bone density and mineral deposition, as well as muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural mineral — it is a key component of your bones and teeth, and it also plays a critical role in how your muscles relax and your nerves send signals. Your body tightly regulates calcium levels, so getting the right amount from supplements like this product is important for maintaining these functions [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. 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
We recommend you check your total daily calcium intake from food and all supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. Take this product with food and separate it from the medications listed above by at least two hours. Speak with your doctor before starting if you have kidney disease, a history of heart problems, or if you take any prescription medications [NIH ODS].
