Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Lemon
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Lemon is a fish oil supplement providing omega-3 fatty acids. Data on the specific ingredient calcium indicates a role in bone health, but calcium is not the primary active ingredient in this product [NIH ODS]. Our assessment is that this supplement may support general wellness, but the data provided does not include specific studies or outcomes for this exact product.
How it works
Think of this supplement as a source of essential fats. The data on calcium, which is not the main component here, shows it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. For the omega-3s in this product, specific mechanisms are not available in the provided data, so you should consult the label for detailed ingredient information.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For the ingredient calcium, safety data shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels can also cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Data for side effects specific to this product is not available.
Our recommendation
We recommend you start by reviewing the product label for exact ingredient amounts and serving size. Because specific studies and adverse event data for this product are not provided, consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take medications that interact with calcium, such as bisphosphonates or levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. A cautious approach is best given the lack of product-specific data.
