Blue Star Nutraceuticals Omega Blue Fresh Citrus Flavor

Our assessment

The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which is a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data we have is limited to the ingredient calcium, and we cannot assess the full formulation of Blue Star Nutraceuticals Omega Blue Fresh Citrus Flavor. Our assessment is that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].

How it works

Think of calcium as a building block for your bones — it helps deposit minerals into bone tissue to maintain density and strength. It also plays a role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling, helping your body function smoothly [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all products in this database. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood levels of calcium can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

We recommend you consult your healthcare provider before taking this supplement, especially if you take prescription medications. The data does not provide a specific dosage for this product, so follow the label instructions. Be aware that calcium intake from all sources — food and supplements — should be monitored to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS]. If you experience any side effects, stop use and seek medical attention.
