Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Minis Strawberry provides a source of calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and muscle function. However, the data on this specific product is limited, and our assessment must focus on the ingredient calcium. For general health, you should be aware that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signaler for your body. It works by supporting bone density and mineral deposition, which keeps your skeleton strong. At the same time, it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific data for this product is not available. For calcium, some research suggests 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available to provide a specific dosage recommendation for this product. You should consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take medications that interact with calcium.
