Our assessment
The evidence shows that Higher Nature Omega 3 Fish Oil 1000 mg is a product whose primary ingredient, calcium, is well-studied for bone health. However, you should be aware that the data we have focuses on calcium, not fish oil. For calcium, the data supports its role in bone mineralization [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
