Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega + CoQ10 is a combination supplement, but the data provided only covers the ingredient calcium. For this product specifically, data on omega-3s and CoQ10 is not available. Our assessment focuses on the calcium component, which is included in the product. For calcium, the data supports its role in bone health, but you should be aware of significant safety considerations [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body’s structural and signaling systems. It supports bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density, and is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
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. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
For the calcium in this supplement, you should be cautious with dosing. Do not exceed the RDA without medical supervision. Take calcium separately from thyroid medication and antibiotics by at least two hours. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer, consult your doctor before use [NIH ODS].
