Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nordic Naturals Complete Omega Xtra Lemon contains calcium, but the data on this specific product is limited. For the calcium component, our assessment is that it supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition, and it also aids in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, safety data shows that 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific dosage or recommendation for this product. Before taking this supplement, you should review the label carefully and consult with your healthcare provider, especially if you take any of the medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS].
