HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Complete Omega Xtra Lemon by Nordic Naturals

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Omega-6 Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (285 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 (160 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 (1,360 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Complete Omega Xtra Lemon is a 5-ingredient omega supplement in softgel form. It delivers eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) — the active omega-3s from fish oil — along with gamma-linolenic acid and a blend of omega-6, omega-9, and other omega-3 fatty acids.

Oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat, rounds out the active ingredients. The softgels also contain purified deep sea fish oil, borage seed oil, vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol), natural lemon flavor, and rosemary extract as inactive ingredients.

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: heart, brain, and joint health with skin and mood support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Coronary heart disease (CHD), Hypercholesterolemia, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Stroke — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Oleic Acid is rated "Possibly Effective" for Coronary heart disease (CHD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Oleic Acid is rated "Possibly Effective" for Hypercholesterolemia.
  • Also on file: Oleic Acid is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Depression, Hypertension, Stroke.

Oleic acid in this product is rated possibly effective for high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and for supporting heart health in coronary heart disease. The evidence isn't conclusive, but preliminary studies suggest a diet rich in oleic acid — like that from olive oil — may help with cholesterol and blood vessel health.

We don't hold effectiveness data for the other omega fatty acids in this product.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Oleic acid from food sources like olive oil is generally recognized as safe in normal amounts. However, concentrated supplement doses of oleic acid haven't been well studied, especially in pregnancy and during breastfeeding.

Food amounts are considered safe in both pregnancy and lactation, but we don't have enough safety data on supplement-level doses for these situations. The product's adverse effects in trials haven't been documented in our data.

Meds to double-check

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Oleic Acid.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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 you take this product, check your exact antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications) with the search tool below. Oleic acid may increase how well they work, which could lower your blood sugar more than intended.

We couldn't find interaction data for several other active ingredients in this product, so it's worth confirming all your medications with your pharmacist or doctor.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This omega blend may appeal to you if you're looking for EPA, DHA, and oleic acid support, particularly if you're interested in cholesterol or heart health. If you take any blood sugar medication, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — oleic acid may strengthen their effect.

Pregnant or breastfeeding people should also check with their doctor or pharmacist, since high-dose supplement safety data isn't established.

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.
