Does the marketing hold up?

FDA recall appears in this brand's history. An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

“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.

Marketing claims, checked

The checks, one by one

The public sources did not settle the marketing promises on this label.

Partly confirmed1

“OMEGA-3s - Research shows that the essential fatty acids EPA & DHA in fish oil support heart, brain, eye & immune”

The panel lists 550 mg EPA + DHA per serving (Serving Size: 2 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.

?Couldn’t verify independently1

“Tested”

No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. No exact brand product page was available for a document check. Under NSF/ANSI 173, NSF lists Nordic Naturals, Inc. products, including Vitamin C Gummies Sport (SMP-00089), but not this exact SKU. 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.

Evidence →

We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.

FDA recall appears in this brand's history

An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

Evidence and sources

This recall is not about the product on this page. Nordic Naturals, Inc. recalled a different product on May 2, 2025. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Nordic Naturals Zero Sugar Kids Multivitamin Supplement - Gummies (120 gummies/bottle); 12 bottles/case”. …

Public contextIs the label honest?

The headline amount is not tied to a panel row for the same ingredient

You are being sold on an ingredient the verified panel does not separately declare. The brand should explain the mismatch.

Evidence and sources

The listing presents 690 mg for fish oil, but vision:claude-cli:subscription 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.

Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked finding
CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 6 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.

Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked finding
CheckedWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 768990017605.

The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.

Evidence and sources

Open Food Facts resolves 768990017605 to "Omega-3" (Nordic Naturals) — consistent with this listing.

Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked finding
CheckedCan you trust the review pattern?

Reviews rose from 80 to 202 between June 27, 2025 and July 23, 2026 — no sudden jump.

A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 80 to 202 between June 27, 2025 and July 23, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 19, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

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

550 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 330 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.
