Barlean's Organic Oils Omega Swirl Strawberry Banana
Brand: Barlean's Organic Oils · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Barlean's Organic Oils Omega Swirl Strawberry Banana is a dietary supplement, but the specific data we have is on calcium, not the omega oils in this product. Without ingredient-specific data for the omega content, we cannot provide a full analysis of its primary benefits. For the calcium component, which may be present, our assessment is that it supports bone health, but you should be aware of the risks associated with high intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
If this product contains calcium, it acts as a mineral regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a key building block for your skeleton and a helper for your muscles to relax properly.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but data for this specific product is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend that you check the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you are taking any medications, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. For a more complete assessment of this specific omega product, data on its primary ingredients is not available.
