Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but the data we have is for calcium supplements in general, not specifically for the product "Simply Supplements High Strength Omega 3 500 mg." The ingredient list for this product is listed as "See label," so we cannot confirm it contains calcium. Our assessment is based on general calcium data provided [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a builder and messenger in your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping deposit minerals to keep your skeleton dense and strong. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, which is how your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
