Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Lemon
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Lemon is fish oil, which provides the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. However, the specific data provided focuses on calcium, not fish oil. For calcium, our assessment is that it is a well-supported mineral for bone health, but you should be aware of potential risks and interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones. It works through bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for the specific product's side effects from the FDA data provided. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but individual counts for this product are not listed. For calcium specifically, high 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].
Our recommendation
You should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. If you take any of these medications, separate your calcium intake by at least two hours. For the Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Lemon product, specific data on its omega-3 content and benefits is not available in the provided data, so we cannot make a specific recommendation for it [NIH ODS].
