Product analysis

44 out of 100

Omega-3 Salmon Oil uses a triglyceride oil form with favorable absorption potential, but supplies modest EPA and DHA amounts. The small active amounts make it less suited to someone seeking a concentrated omega-3 serving.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality20

The associated oil description identifies a triglyceride form with favorable absorption potential. Individual nutrient entries omit further form details, so their sparse descriptions should not be read as proof of poor oil quality.

Ingredient Transparency70

The EPA, DHA and other listed fat amounts are disclosed, with the applicable composition details identified. Separate nutrient entries add little form detail beyond the triglyceride description of the oil.

Value For Money41

The EPA contribution offers moderate value at the serving cost. DHA is relatively costly for its small contribution, limiting appeal as a concentrated source of both fats.

Customer Satisfaction75

Customer ratings indicate high satisfaction. A few hundred ratings provide some breadth of feedback.

Product Focus30

The small EPA amount gives the formula a narrow triglyceride-related role. Its modest active amounts do not establish broad cardiovascular benefits.

Omega-3 Triglyceride Fish Oil 1100 mg

NATURELO Premium Supplements

A more concentrated serving provides 729 mg EPA and 275 mg DHA, giving greater omega-3 depth than the original's 150 mg EPA and 100 mg DHA. Molecular distillation adds some purity assurance, while missing independent testing, fish species, and antioxidant protection leave smaller quality gaps.

Omega-3

Solgar

A more concentrated serving provides 1,008 mg EPA and 756 mg DHA, giving greater omega-3 depth than the original's 150 mg EPA and 100 mg DHA. Mixed tocopherols aid oxidation control, but molecular form, fish source, purification method, and independent testing remain unclear.
