“OMEGA-3 POWERHOUSE FOR TOTAL BODY WELLNESS*: Omega-3 fatty acids—especially EPA and DHA—are clinically shown to support cardiovascular health,…”
Evidence →The panel lists 950 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.
Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.
△Claimed without support found1
“OMEGA-3 POWERHOUSE FOR TOTAL BODY WELLNESS*: Omega-3 fatty acids—especially EPA and DHA—are clinically shown to support cardiovascular health,…”
Evidence →We found no named, citable study of this product or formula. The claim may rest on ingredient research rather than a trial of this product.

“THE SPORTS RESEARCH DIFFERENCE: Manufactured in the USA in a cGMP-compliant facility, our Omega-3 Fish Oil is Non-GMO tested,…”
Evidence →“Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product.
“THE SPORTS RESEARCH DIFFERENCE: Manufactured in the USA in a cGMP-compliant facility, our Omega-3 Fish Oil is Non-GMO tested,…”
Evidence →No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. A related brand page names no testing issuer and links no product-bound report; its UPC is not published. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur.
We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.

Background reading
What the research says about these amounts
Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.
The panel lists 690 mg of omega-3 (EPA + DHA) per serving. Studies we found used 300 mg–1.8 g a day, so this sits inside that range.
0studied 300 mg–1.8 g
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
