How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder — it supports bone mineralization and mineral deposition, and it also helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This mechanism is essential for maintaining strong bones and proper muscle function.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the specific data for Puritan's Pride Triple Strength Omega-3 Fish Oil 1360 mg is not available, we cannot make a specific recommendation for this product. For calcium, you should be cautious about high intakes and discuss any supplement use with your healthcare provider, especially if you take medications like antibiotics or thyroid medication [NIH ODS].
