HelloPharmacist Scorecard of The Omega Organic Lemon by Cymbiotika

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

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 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains six active ingredients in liquid form. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), evening primrose oil, and Canadian omega-3 DHA are omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids — the core of this supplement.

Sea buckthorn oil and astaxanthin are antioxidant-rich plant extracts. Phosphatidylcholine is a phospholipid that supports cell membranes.

The remaining ingredients are inactive — organic MCT oil, natural vitamin E (tocopherol), organic lemon oil for flavor, and monk fruit extract for sweetness.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Hydrate skin, support pregnancy & cognitive function, vision & heart.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging skin, Dry skin, Infant development, Age-related cognitive decline, Memory, Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Phosphatidylcholine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hyperlipidemia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Phosphatidylcholine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Memory, Infant development, Aging.
  • Also on file: Sea Buckthorn is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Aging skin, Dry eye, Dry skin.

The evidence for these ingredients is mixed and often limited. Sea buckthorn appears possibly effective for burn healing, though it's possibly ineffective for eczema.

For the other conditions tested — high cholesterol, aging skin, and cancer — the evidence isn't strong enough to rate. Astaxanthin and phosphatidylcholine have been studied for various uses (cognitive decline, eye health, liver disease, anxiety), but again, the evidence is insufficient to make a reliable claim.

We don't hold effectiveness data for eicosapentaenoic acid, evening primrose oil, or Canadian omega-3 DHA in our system.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sea Buckthorn Astaxanthin Phosphatidylcholine

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Sea buckthorn is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety hasn't been fully studied — use caution at higher doses and talk to your doctor. High doses can cause yellow staining of the skin; one case of generalized yellow skin occurred with 100 grams daily for six months.

Topically, sea buckthorn can cause dryness, irritation, redness, or rash (4% of patients in one study). Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data are limited.

At typical doses it may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, or red-colored stool; higher doses (40 mg daily) have caused severe stomach pain in rare cases. Phosphatidylcholine is generally well tolerated, but large doses (30 grams daily) can cause digestive upset — bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting have been reported even at smaller doses.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: astaxanthin safety data aren't sufficient, so it's best to avoid during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Sea buckthorn and phosphatidylcholine don't have enough reliable data on supplement use in breastfeeding — speak with your healthcare provider.

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?
  • 2 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Sea Buckthorn, Astaxanthin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 897 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.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel), double-check with your pharmacist before using this product — sea buckthorn may increase bleeding risk. Also check if you're on medications metabolized by CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 enzymes, and discuss any blood pressure medications with your doctor, since sea buckthorn may lower blood pressure further.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This omega supplement may be an option if you're looking for fatty acids and antioxidants, but you'll want to check your medications first — especially blood thinners and any drugs your liver processes through those enzyme systems. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on prescription medications, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting.

The Omega Organic Lemon by Cymbiotika: Common Questions

Does The Omega Organic Lemon by Cymbiotika interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, The Omega Organic Lemon has a known interaction with 896 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
The Omega Organic 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.
Will this turn my skin yellow?
High doses of sea buckthorn may cause yellow staining of the skin, especially at very high intakes (100 grams daily for months). At typical supplement doses, this is unlikely, but if it happens, that's the reason why.
Can I take this while pregnant?
Astaxanthin in this product doesn't have enough safety data, so it's best to avoid during pregnancy. For the other ingredients, we don't hold enough information to say either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Sea buckthorn and astaxanthin don't have enough reliable safety data for breastfeeding. Phosphatidylcholine also lacks sufficient data on supplement use while nursing. Speak with your healthcare provider first to decide if it's appropriate for you.
What might cause stomach upset with this?
Phosphatidylcholine can cause bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, especially in larger doses. Astaxanthin may cause abdominal pain or diarrhea at typical doses. If you experience these, try reducing the dose or taking it with food.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Sea buckthorn supplement safety long-term hasn't been fully studied, so caution is advised. Astaxanthin has limited long-term safety data. If you plan to use this regularly, check in with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation.
