Our assessment
The evidence shows that Shaklee Omega Guard is a fish oil supplement, but the only ingredient data provided is for calcium, which is not the primary ingredient in this product. For general guidance, calcium is essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, we cannot assess the specific benefits or effectiveness of Shaklee Omega Guard based on the available data.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, which helps with muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a key structural component for your bones and a regulator for your muscles and nerves. For Shaklee Omega Guard specifically, data on how its intended ingredients work is not available.
Safety profile
Data not available for Shaklee Omega Guard-specific adverse events. For calcium, FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. High calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects of very high calcium levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Without specific data on Shaklee Omega Guard’s omega-3 content or benefits, we cannot recommend this product for any particular health goal. If you choose to take a calcium supplement, stick to recommended intake levels and discuss with your doctor if you take any medications that may interact [NIH ODS]. For Shaklee Omega Guard, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
