Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Omega-6 Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (240 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Omega-9 Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (225 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (565 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Complete Omega-D3 Lemon is a 6-ingredient omega blend that delivers eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (two omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil), gamma-linolenic acid (an omega-6), oleic acid (an omega-9), and vitamin D3. The softgel capsule itself is filled with purified deep sea fish oil and borage seed oil, with natural lemon flavor, vitamin E (D-Alpha-Tocopherol), and rosemary extract as stabilizers.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: skin health, mood, and cardiovascular support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Atopic dermatitis (eczema), Acne, Depression, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Coronary heart disease (CHD) — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin D is rated "Possibly Effective" for Heart failure (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Oleic Acid is rated "Possibly Effective" for Coronary heart disease (CHD), Hypercholesterolemia.
  • Also on file: Vitamin D is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Vitamin D3 in this product is effective for treating bone and mineral disorders — rickets, osteomalacia (soft bones), renal bone disease, hypoparathyroidism, and familial hypophosphatemia. Oleic acid is possibly effective for high cholesterol and heart disease risk, based on preliminary research with olive oil diets.

The data we hold does not establish effectiveness ratings for the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in this formulation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Omega-6 Fatty Acids Oleic Acid Vitamin D

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin D3 is generally well tolerated at recommended doses, but excessive amounts over time can cause vitamin D toxicity, with symptoms like high calcium levels (hypercalcemia), kidney problems, and anemia. The product may be used during pregnancy at recommended amounts, though you should do so only under your doctor's guidance.

Oleic acid at food amounts is considered safe, but concentrated supplement doses have not been well studied in pregnancy or breastfeeding — talk with your doctor before taking more than what you'd get from eating olive oil.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Vitamin D, Oleic Acid.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 796 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist if you use thiazide diuretics (water pills), verapamil or diltiazem (heart medications), digoxin, atorvastatin, calcipotriene (psoriasis cream), or diabetes medications that lower blood sugar. These are the Moderate-severity interactions we have data for.

We could not check the omega-3 and several other fatty acid components, so a full medication review is important.

Vitamin D38 drug types · 715 drugs

Aluminum

Vitamin D might increase aluminum absorption and toxicity, but this has only been reported in people with renal failure.
The protein that transports calcium across the intestinal wall can also bind and transport aluminum. This protein is stimulated by vitamin D, which may therefore increase aluminum absorption. This mechanism may contribute to increased aluminum levels and toxicity in people with renal failure, when they take vitamin D and aluminum-containing phosphate binders chronically.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Vitamin D might reduce absorption of atorvastatin.
A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%. However, while atorvastatin levels decreased, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels did not substantially change. Atorvastatin is metabolized in the gut by CYP3A4 enzymes, and researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, causing reduced levels of atorvastatin. However, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Calcipotriene (Dovonex)

Taking calcipotriene with vitamin D increases the risk for hypercalcemia.
Calcipotriene is a vitamin D analog used topically for psoriasis. It can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to cause systemic effects, including hypercalcemia. Theoretically, combining calcipotriene with vitamin D supplements might increase the risk of hypercalcemia.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of arrhythmia from digoxin.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia increases the risk of fatal cardiac arrhythmias with digoxin. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and digoxin concurrently.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diltiazem (Cardizem, Others)

Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of diltiazem for arrhythmia.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Theoretically this could also occur with diltiazem. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and diltiazem concurrently.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Thiazide Diuretics

Theoretically, taking thiazide diuretics and high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
Thiazide diuretics decrease urinary calcium excretion, which could lead to hypercalcemia if vitamin D supplements are taken concurrently. This has been reported in people being treated with vitamin D for hypoparathyroidism, and also in elderly people with normal parathyroid function who were taking a thiazide, vitamin D, and calcium-containing antacids daily.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Verapamil (Calan, Others)

Hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of verapamil for arrhythmia.
Hypercalcemia due to high doses of vitamin D can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and verapamil concurrently.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Vitamin D might induce CYP3A4 enzymes and reduce the bioavailability of CYP3A4 substrates.
There is some concern that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4. In vitro research suggests that vitamin D induces CYP3A4 transcription. Additionally, observational research has found that increased UV light exposure and serum vitamin D levels are associated with decreased serum levels of CYP3A4 substrates such as tacrolimus and sirolimus, while no association between UV light exposure or vitamin D levels and levels of mycophenolic acid, a non-CYP3A4 substrate, was found. A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of the CYP3A4 substrate atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%; however, the clinical effects of atorvastatin were not reduced. While researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Vitamin D3 full monograph & interactions

Oleic Acid1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, oleic acid might increase the effects of antidiabetes drugs. Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes taking oral hypoglycemic drugs shows that eating a diet rich in oleic acid from olive oil decreases fasting blood glucose levels when compared to eating a diet rich in linoleic acid from sunflower oil. It is unknown if taking oleic acid supplements would have this effect or if this change is clinically significant. Until more is known, use caution. Dose adjustment may be necessary. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Complete Omega-D3 Lemon by Nordic Naturals: Common Questions

Does Complete Omega-D3 Lemon by Nordic Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Complete Omega-D3 Lemon has a known interaction with 795 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Complete Omega-D3 Lemon contains 6 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on a water pill for blood pressure?
You should check with your doctor or pharmacist first. High-dose vitamin D combined with thiazide diuretics can raise your calcium levels too high. The risk depends on the vitamin D dose in your supplement and the dose you're taking — this is a moderately serious interaction that needs personalized review.
What does vitamin D do in this product?
Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb and use calcium and phosphorus. It's effective for treating bone disorders like rickets, soft bones (osteomalacia), and certain mineral-balance problems. This product delivers it as a supplement, not a prescription dose.
Is this safe to take during pregnancy?
Vitamin D3 can be used during pregnancy at recommended amounts, but only under your doctor's guidance — don't decide on your own. Oleic acid at food amounts is fine, but concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied in pregnancy. Talk with your OB or pharmacist before starting.
Can this help with my cholesterol?
Oleic acid, one of the omega-9 fatty acids in this product, is possibly effective for high cholesterol and heart disease risk. The evidence is from studies on olive oil diets, not from isolated supplements. Your doctor can tell you whether it's right for your situation.
What are omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids for?
Omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids are types of fat your body can't make on its own. They're thought to support heart and brain health, though the specific effects of this product's omega blend aren't established in the data we hold.
Can I take too much of this?
Yes — very high doses of vitamin D over time can cause toxicity, with symptoms like high calcium levels, bone loss, and anemia. Stick to the dose on the label, and if you're taking other vitamin D sources, tell your pharmacist so they can check your total intake.
