Our assessment
The evidence shows that the main active ingredient in this product is calcium, which is well-supported for bone health. However, data for the specific formulation "NeoLife Nutritionals Omega-III Salmon Oil Plus" is limited. Our assessment is that while calcium is a critical mineral, you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with high intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and density, and helps your nerves and muscles relax and signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by assessing your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. Take calcium supplements separately from medications listed above. Consult your doctor to check your calcium levels before starting [NIH ODS].
