MET-Rx Triple Omega
Brand: MET-Rx · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that MET-Rx Triple Omega contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data does not provide specific information on the other components of this product, such as omega-3 fatty acids. Our assessment is that you should focus on the calcium content, as the benefits and risks for this ingredient are well-documented.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific adverse events for MET-Rx Triple Omega. However, for the calcium component, FDA has received a total of 592059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because specific data for MET-Rx Triple Omega is limited, we recommend you focus on your total calcium intake from all sources. Do not exceed the upper intake levels for calcium. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your calcium supplement by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. For a full profile of this product, consult your healthcare provider.
