Nordic Naturals Omega Vision
Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nordic Naturals Omega Vision contains calcium, which is essential for bone health, but you should be aware of important safety considerations. While the product is marketed for vision support, the primary data available relates to its calcium content and the general risks associated with high calcium intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block — it supports bone mineralization and density, and also helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, the specific mechanism of this product for vision support is not detailed in the data provided.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels of calcium in your blood or 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].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin — so separate dosing by at least 2 hours if you take these [NIH ODS]. Data not available for specific vision-related outcomes for this product.
