Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in this product, calcium, is well-studied for its role in bone health. However, data on the specific "Renew Life Norwegian Gold Daily Omega Natural Orange Flavor" formulation is limited to the ingredient calcium. Our assessment is that you can rely on the general research for calcium, but you should be aware that the benefits come with notable safety considerations [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It works through two main mechanisms: it supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into bone tissue to keep them dense and strong. It also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category. For calcium specifically, the data shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you be cautious with calcium supplementation. Because high intakes carry serious risks, including heart and kidney issues, you should not exceed the RDA without medical supervision. Also, note that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, so take it separately from these drugs [NIH ODS].
