Our assessment
The evidence shows that while the product Nordic Naturals Complete Omega Lemon contains calcium, the data available to us is limited. Our assessment is that you should be aware of the specific functions and risks of calcium as a supplement ingredient, but we cannot provide a complete evaluation of this specific product based on the data provided.
How it works
Calcium is a mineral that supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain bone density. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products in its database. Specific side effects for calcium include constipation, nausea, and weight loss. Very high levels of calcium in the blood and urine can lead to poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommendation on this product. You should consult your healthcare provider before taking any supplement containing calcium, especially if you take medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, or levothyroxine, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS].
