Renew Life Norwegian Gold Critical Omega Natural Orange Flavor
Brand: Renew Life · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Renew Life Norwegian Gold Critical Omega is calcium from the algae source. Our assessment: calcium is a well-studied mineral for bone health, but you should be aware of its specific risks and interactions before taking this supplement [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density through mineralization and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. This is why calcium is often recommended for maintaining strong bones as you age.
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effect reports for this product. However, based on the calcium ingredient, 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]. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific numbers for this product are not provided [FDA data].
Our recommendation
If you are taking any medications, be cautious: calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend you consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or take medications that interact with calcium. Do not exceed the daily recommended intake without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
