Our assessment
The evidence shows that Renew Life Norwegian Gold Critical Omega Natural Orange Flavor contains calcium, a mineral with specific benefits and risks. Our assessment is that this supplement may help support bone health, but you need to be aware of potential side effects and interactions before taking it [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for adverse events specific to this product. However, for calcium generally, data shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to be cautious with calcium supplements. You should check your total calcium intake from food and supplements, and talk to your doctor before starting, especially if you take medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS].
