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.
What the label discloses
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 6 declared rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 35 | — | |
| Total Fat | 3.5g | — | |
| Omega-3 Fatty Acids | 2,500mg | — | |
| EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid)(EE) | 1,200mg | — | |
| DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid)(EE) | 850mg | — | |
| Other Omega-3 Fatty Acids | 450mg | — |
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a declared “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; the open question is whether those declared amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as declared panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Omega-3 dose is above the studied range
label claims 2500 mg/serving — above the range commonly used in research (one randomized dose-response trial used 300–1,800 mg/day of EPA + DHA; omega-3 study doses vary widely). Sources: NIH ODS — Omega-3 Fatty Acids fact sheet, PubMed dose-response trial.
Panel carries documented template or translation artifacts
The panel carries these quoted observations: “Calories has no unit”. US-market labels are produced under cGMP controls; these are template or translation artifacts worth checking, not proof that the label is fabricated or that the product is unsafe.
Exact trademark owner identified
USPTO lists eSupplements, LLC (LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY) in UTAH, USA for the exact brand wordmark. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product.
No data yet: Testing claimed — documentation not found
The observed listing claims third-party testing without naming a lab or certifier. No product-bound report is retained, so the claim cannot be verified as stated. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record.
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.
Package and trademark records name different responsible entities
The package says manufactured for: nutricost, 351 E 1750 N, Vineyard, UT 84059. USPTO names eSupplements, LLC as the exact wordmark owner. That can be a normal distributor, manufacturer, or licensing relationship; the retained records do not establish the relationship.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 0 on 2026-02-14 to 0 on 2026-02-14 (net +0). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
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.
EPA + DHA dose is above one studied range
The panel declares 2,050 mg EPA + DHA per serving (3 Softgels). 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.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…1200mg EPA / 850mg DHA Non-GMO, Gluten Free, 3rd Party Tested Manufactured In a GMP Compliant, FDA Registe…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the observed listing, retained brand product page, any linked COA or test report; NSF, IFOS, USP, Informed-Sport were not queried | No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. No exact brand product page was available for a document check. 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. |
| Manufacturing claim “…ten Free, 3rd Party Tested Manufactured In a GMP Compliant, FDA Registered Facility Omega-3 F…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the facility registration or certificate behind the claim | Facility-level claims can be accurate and still say nothing about this product’s contents. No registration document was located. |
“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?
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Omega-3 Fatty Acids | shaded = doses used in studies (300 mg–1.8 g) · bar = this label | 2.5 g — above 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.
Verifiability profile — 2 of 6 public signals
What this listing gives the public to check. Publishing these signals doesn't prove quality — but withholding them means claims can only be taken on faith.

Where it sells
A brand storefront was found, but no exact-product price was published or identity-bound at build time.
Brand store nutricost.com: 199 supplement products (+51 merch items) — for comparison, single-focus brands typically carry 5–30 products; very broad catalogs are common among companies that rebrand ready-made formulas — a pattern note, not a verdict.

ℹ Use pattern in research: research measures EPA and DHA together, not the weight of the fish-oil concentrate; the panel must expose those rows separately.
