Analysis

The softgel contains 1,000 mg of wild Alaskan salmon oil but only 80 mg of EPA and 70 mg of DHA. Total omega-3 reaches 200 mg, making the active concentration low despite the prominent fish-oil amount.

Named wild salmon sourcing is useful for shoppers who value origin information. No added antioxidant protection, molecular form, or independent purity verification is included in the supplied label details.

The formula is best for light maintenance or users who specifically prefer salmon oil. Adults seeking meaningful cardiovascular or inflammatory depth would need multiple servings or a more concentrated product.

Who is it for
  • Adults who specifically prefer wild salmon oil
  • Users seeking light omega-3 maintenance
  • People who value one-softgel convenience
Best for
  • Low-dose daily supplementation
  • Wild-salmon source preference
  • Simple one-capsule routines

Pros

  • Wild Alaskan salmon source is identified
  • One-softgel serving
  • EPA and DHA are separately listed
  • Low serving cost

Cons

  • Only 80 mg of EPA
  • Only 70 mg of DHA
  • Very low active concentration
  • No antioxidant or independent purity details
  • Limited fit for stated cardiovascular goals

Warnings

  • Contains fish oil and is not suitable for people with a fish allergy
  • Fish oil may cause fishy aftertaste, reflux, or digestive discomfort in sensitive users

Nutrient quality

67 High impact

Wild Alaskan salmon oil in softgels with an unspecified molecular form gives the formula reasonable ingredient quality. Dose uncertainty or limited delivery detail prevents a confident quality assessment.

Ingredient transparency

85 Highest impact

The meaningful actives and their amounts are clearly identified. Serving guidance and the complete inactive-ingredient list are not fully supplied.

Customer satisfaction

73 High impact

The aggregate rating is strong and supported by useful review volume. No review excerpts are supplied to assess repeated complaints or purpose-specific experiences.

Value for money

66 High impact

Premium positioning or disclosure limits weaken the value case. The useful active content appears limited relative to the serving cost.

Fish Oil · 1000 mg

EPA and DHA support cardiovascular lipid and inflammatory pathways, but the active amounts here are very small. The serving is unlikely to provide a meaningful triglyceride-focused contribution.

Wild salmon sourcing and separate EPA and DHA disclosure are useful quality signals. Missing molecular-form, purification, and oxidation details still limit confidence in oil quality.

Fish Oil · 1000 mg

Salmon oil supplies EPA and DHA, but the combined 150 mg amount is far below the stated minimum for anti-inflammatory support. The larger fish-oil number mainly reflects total oil rather than active omega-3s.

Individual fatty acids are clearly disclosed and the single-source formula is focused. Low concentration prevents meaningful depth despite a strong ingredient class.

Report overview
Omega-3 · 200 mg OverallScore42
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyD+ Value

EPA and DHA are clearly disclosed, but they form a small share of the salmon oil. The molecular form, antioxidant protection, and independent purity testing are not supplied. A low serving cost produces fair value per active amount despite the dilute oil.

F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityF Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The molecular form is unspecified; ePA density is low, and no protective antioxidant is listed. The serving provides a minimal EPA amount with more EPA than DHA but not a strongly EPA-centric ratio. No purification or third-party verification is shown, while normalized cost is weak.

DHA · 70 mg OverallScore20
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityF Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The DHA chemical form is not identified, leaving bioavailability uncertain. The 70 mg DHA serving is below the collection's moderate-dose threshold. No protective antioxidant is listed, and wild Alaskan salmon oil lacks explicit third-party purity verification.
