Our assessment
Our assessment: Nordic Naturals Nordic Omega-3 Fishies Yummy Tutti Frutti Taste is a fish oil supplement, but the provided data for this product only lists calcium as an ingredient. Based on the data available, this product contains calcium. The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with this mineral [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal messenger. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is crucial for keeping your skeleton strong. Additionally, it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product. Specific side effects for this product are not listed in the provided data. However, 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] [FDA data]. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Because the data for this product is limited to calcium, we cannot make a specific recommendation regarding its omega-3 content. For the calcium component, be aware that it can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. You should take this supplement at a different time than these medications. Data not available for other ingredients or intended benefits.
