“Couldn’t verify” means we looked and found no public proof — not a mark against the product. Most supplement claims cannot be independently verified by anyone, so grey is the normal state of this industry.

Partly confirmed1

“3 supplement: TheraTears 1200mg Omega 3 supplements provide key nourishment to support eye”

The panel lists 750 mg EPA + DHA per serving (6 Soft Gels). 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.

Evidence →

Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

Claimed without support found1

“tested: This blend of triglyceride fish oil and organic flaxseed oil with vitamin E has been clinically”

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.

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 11 ingredients listed.

Every ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.

Evidence and sources

The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

Research behind the findings

Dose and research context

The label amount is shown beside the range used in the linked ingredient studies.

Dose vs research

EPA + DHA

750 mg per serving — within the 300–1800 mg/day used in the linked studies.

Linked ingredient research · label amount, not a recommendation
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 1.6 g 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.
