Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega 2X Lemon is a fish oil supplement, but the critical ingredient in your data is Calcium. Based on the data provided, we cannot assess the omega-3 content specifically. For calcium, our assessment is that it is a well-supported mineral for bone health, but you need to be careful with dosing. The data does not provide a specific strength or RDA for this product, so we cannot confirm the exact amount you would be getting [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which keeps your bones strong. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
For the specific product, data on side effects is not available. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific dose for this product. If you are taking this for calcium, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your doctor before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of those medications.
