Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product, Nordic Naturals Omega Boost Creamy Lemon, provides a source of calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and muscle function. However, the specific amount of calcium per serving is listed as "See label," so you must check the product label for the exact dosage to ensure it meets your needs [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural and signaling powerhouse. It supports bone mineralization, helping maintain strong bones and teeth, and it plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, which allows your muscles to relax and your nerves to send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product regarding side effect report counts. However, for the ingredient calcium, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though this number is not specific to this brand. High calcium intakes can lead to constipation, nausea, weight loss, and abnormal heart rhythms. You should also be aware that calcium supplements can reduce the absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Check the product label to confirm the calcium content per serving. If you are taking any medications, particularly antibiotics or thyroid medication, take this supplement at least two hours apart from those drugs. For most adults, the recommended daily allowance for calcium is 1,000 mg, but do not exceed that without consulting your healthcare provider [NIH ODS].
