Brand: Nordic Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health, but the available data does not allow for a full assessment of "Omega Blood Sugar" as a specific formula. We can only evaluate the known effects of its listed ingredient, calcium. For the specific blood sugar benefits claimed by the product name, data is not available.
How it works
Calcium serves as a master regulator for your body. It is critical for bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your skeleton to maintain strong bones. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
There have been 592,059 total adverse event reports to the FDA across all supplements, though this number is not specific to this product. For calcium specifically, high levels in the blood and urine can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Before starting this supplement, you should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Because no specific data on the blood sugar effects of this formula is available, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider to determine if this product is right for your health goals.
