The Vitamin Shoppe Fish Oil Smoothie Lemon
Brand: The Vitamin Shoppe · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence for The Vitamin Shoppe Fish Oil Smoothie Lemon is very limited. The product is listed as a fish oil supplement, but the only ingredient data provided is for calcium, not fish oil. As a result, our assessment must focus on the calcium content, which is a mineral supporting bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. We cannot verify any specific benefits of fish oil from this data set.
How it works
If this product contains calcium, it functions as a master regulator for bone health and nerve signaling. Calcium supports bone density through mineral deposition and helps your muscles relax after contraction [NIH ODS]. However, because the label and ingredients for this specific fish oil product are not fully provided, we cannot confirm the exact mechanism of the fish oil component itself.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but no specific report count is provided for this product [FDA data]. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can cause side effects such as constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Based on the data provided, we cannot recommend The Vitamin Shoppe Fish Oil Smoothie Lemon for a specific health purpose. The product’s ingredients are not fully detailed, and no studies on this supplement were provided. If you are considering a fish oil supplement, look for a product with clear labeling and third-party testing. For calcium needs, consider dietary sources first and consult your doctor before supplementing, especially if you take prescription medications [NIH ODS].
