Our assessment
The evidence shows that NeoLife Nutritionals Omega-III Salmon Oil Plus is a dietary supplement intended to provide omega-3 fatty acids. However, based strictly on the data provided, we can only comment on the calcium content listed on the label. For a general health assessment, calcium is essential for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. Data not available for the specific omega-3 content or benefits of this product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Without sufficient calcium, your body will borrow it from your bones, which can weaken them over time.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from excessive calcium include constipation, nausea, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Always follow the label dosage.
Our recommendation
Our assessment: For general health, ensure you meet your calcium needs through diet first. If you take this supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Take it at a separate time from these drugs. Discuss all supplements with your healthcare provider.
