How to read this report
What this is. We compare what a listing claims against what public records show — label arithmetic, barcode registries, NIH’s label catalog, FDA enforcement data, certification registries, and published research. Every statement below traces to one of those.
What the states mean. Confirmed = an outside source agrees. Contradicted = an outside source disagrees. Caution = something needs explaining. No data = we looked and found nothing — a gap, not a strike.
What it is not. A clean record is not an endorsement and never proof a product works. A thin record is not an accusation. We publish evidence and gaps; the conclusion is yours. Nothing here is medical advice.
Something wrong? Every figure is meant to be checkable — sources are named and linked. Send a correction and we’ll fix the record.
Panel, decoded
The 500 mg number matches named panel rows
MARKETING500 mg — listing title
PANELKrill Oil 500 mg + Astaxanthin 0.025 mg = 500.025 mgKrill Oil 500 mg + Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids 115 mg + Phospholipids 167 mg
component totalWe did the comparison: the listing title uses 500 mg, which equals Krill Oil 500 mg + Astaxanthin 0.025 mg. It is a combined amount, not the amount of one ingredient. The full listed active total is 876.025 mg including the other panel rows. This explains the label framing; it does not independently test the contents.

FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a listed “proprietary blend” (legal, but a transparency yellow flag). A label stating no amount at all is non-compliant — a checkable red flag. This panel states amounts; any remaining comparison concerns the front-label framing.

Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
What checked out3
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
Barcode confirmed in an outside database
Open Food Facts resolves 020525952523 to "Omega-3 Krill Oil Extra Strength" (MegaRed) — consistent with this listing.
Reviews accumulated gradually
Written reviews grew from 599 to 654 across 2026-01-31 – 2026-07-15 with no single manufactured spike (largest 30-day gain ~29).
Documented concerns
What needs caution1
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
The listing says 500 mg of omega 3; the panel says 115 mg
We could not find an explanation for the difference — no blend, extract ratio, compound form or multi-capsule serving accounts for it. You are getting 115 mg of omega 3 per serving. Worth asking the brand which number describes the capsule you swallow.
Unresolved public record
What is still missing8
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Multiple USPTO brand-owner records are shown
USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: RB Health (US) LLC, Schiff Nutrition International, Inc.. These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.
EPA + DHA dose is below one studied range
The panel lists 94 mg EPA + DHA per serving (1 Softgel). One randomized dose-response trial used 300–1,800 mg/day; omega-3 studies vary widely. This is research context, not a recommendation or safety verdict.
The headline amount is not tied to a panel row for the same ingredient
The listing presents 500 mg for omega 3, but vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 does not contain a same-name quantified row. The saved image read may be incomplete, so this is a specific question to resolve rather than a contradiction.
Multi-ingredient formula — panel read, serving weight unknown
We read the full Supplement Facts panel from the listing-image panel (below), but the label doesn’t state a serving weight, so the arithmetic can’t run. A gap in the label’s information, not evidence of a problem.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how omega-3 have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH ODS — Omega-3 Fatty Acids fact sheet, PubMed dose-response trial.
Public label filing not saved
This record does not currently hold an matched to this exact product public label filing for the exact product. That is a LookCloser coverage gap, not evidence that no filing exists.
This item belongs to a catalog variation family
The paid catalog links this exact item to a parent listing. Review counts on public product pages may be shared across sizes, flavors, or other variants, so the count history is listing context — not evidence that reviewers received or tested this exact variant.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 596 on 2026-01-27 to 654 on 2026-07-15 (net +58). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
What to ask and check
What would settle the open questions
Why is this shown?
Everything we couldn’t verify is something a person can still ask about. Rather than leave gaps sitting as dead ends, we turn each one into a specific question — the exact document, citation, or number that would settle it — plus the things you can confirm yourself with the bottle in your hand.
Ask the brand or seller
1
Answered by the panel: the 0.5 g listing number equals Krill Oil 500 mg + Astaxanthin 0.025 mg. What lot-specific document confirms those listed amounts?
The panel resolves what the headline number includes. The remaining question is whether the product in hand matches those listed amounts; ask for a lot-specific certificate of analysis.
2
Is this label filed with NIH’s Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD)?
Filing is voluntary, so absence proves nothing — but a filed label puts the full ingredient table on public record where anyone can read it.
3
Were the endorsing professionals compensated, and what exactly did they review?
An endorsement can be genuine and still not mean the product was tested. Ask whether they reviewed the formula, the manufacturing, or only the marketing.
Most brands and sellers publish a contact route. A clear answer adds evidence to the record; no answer leaves the question open.
Check for yourself — no one’s permission needed
1
Compare the panel on the bottle in your hand to the one shown in this record.
Ours was read from listing photos and can contain reading errors. The physical label is the source of truth — if they disagree, tell us and we’ll correct the record.
2
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 020525952523.
A mismatch between the barcode on the box and the one on the listing is worth pausing over — it can indicate a different variant, a repack, or a counterfeit.
3
Check the lot number and expiry on the bottle against any COA you’re given.
A certificate that doesn’t name your lot doesn’t describe what you’re holding.
These are the open questions on this specific record — not a warning about the product, and not a suggestion to buy or avoid it. Getting them answered is how you decide for yourself.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
A listing’s promises are the reason people buy. Each one gets its own row: what was promised, what evidence would settle it, and what we could actually find. We never call a claim false — only whether proof proportionate to it exists on the public record.
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Professional-endorsement claim “…rill Oil has no fishy aftertaste or odor. #1 DOCTOR RECOMMENDED KRILL OIL BRAND easily absorbed - no fishy a…” | Marketing credential We looked for: who the professionals are, whether they were compensated, and what the endorsement covers | A professional endorsement is a marketing credential, not clinical evidence. Public sources don’t establish who was consulted, whether they were paid, or what specifically they reviewed. |
| Benefit claim “…3 Krill Oil has been shown to significantly increase your omega 3 index in just 30 days. Supporti…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Published research exists for ingredients in this formula — see Related research below. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed. |
“No evidence located” does not mean a claim is false — it means the seller has not put evidence proportionate to the claim on the public record, and we could not find any. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
This label vs. the doses studied
Why is this shown?
An ingredient can be well-studied at one amount and barely studied at the amount in your bottle. This lines the label up against the doses researchers actually used. It answers ‘are these the same numbers?’ — never ‘should you take this?’
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids | shaded = doses used in studies (300 mg–1.8 g) · bar = this label | 115 mg — below the studied range |
Matching a studied dose does not mean the product works, and missing it does not mean it fails — it shows whether the label and the research are talking about the same amounts. Not a recommendation to take any amount.
