Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Lemon
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Lemon is fish oil, which provides omega-3 fatty acids. However, based on the data provided, we are evaluating the ingredient Calcium, which is listed in the NIH ODS data for this product. Our assessment is that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health and nerve function, but the data indicates potential risks at high intakes [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium functions as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your skeleton for density and strength. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for side effects specific to this product. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but no breakdown for this specific product is provided. The NIH ODS data warns that high calcium 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
Our recommendation is to check the label for the exact calcium content per serving. If you are using this product for its calcium content, do not exceed the RDA without medical supervision. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement.
