Brand: Natrol · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, based on the available data, we cannot verify the specific benefits of the "Natrol Extreme Omega 2400 mg" product, as the only ingredient data provided is for calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is well-supported for bone mineralization [NIH ODS], the product's name suggests omega-3s, for which data is not available in this report.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for maintaining strong bones. Additionally, it helps with neuromuscular relaxation, ensuring proper muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For any other ingredients implied by the product name, data is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in its database. Specific to calcium, 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this specific product based solely on the calcium data provided. If you are seeking omega-3 benefits, data is not available for this product's omega-3 content. For calcium, ensure you are not exceeding the recommended daily intake and be aware of the potential risks and medication interactions [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
