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

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
What the label discloses
5listed rows
5separately quantified
0combined blend totals
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 5 listed rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 25 | — | |
| Total Fat | 2.5 g | — | |
| Total Omega-3s | 2150 mg | — | |
| EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) | 1125 mg | — | |
| DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) | 875 mg | — |
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; the open question is whether those listed amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.

Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
What checked out2
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
Exact trademark owner identified
USPTO lists Nordic Naturals, Inc. (CORPORATION) in CALIFORNIA, 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.
Documented concerns
What needs caution1
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
The listing says 2,000 mg of epa; the panel says 1,125 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 1,125 mg of epa 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.
EPA + DHA dose is above one studied range
The panel lists 2,000 mg EPA + DHA per serving (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.
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.
Certified by NSF — contents and contaminants checked
Nordic Naturals, Inc. appears in NSF’s certified-products registry with 10 certified product(s), but we couldn’t confirm this exact listing is among them. Closest listed product: “Ultimate Omega-D3 Sport (Denmark)”. Certification covers contents and contaminants — not effectiveness.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
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”. FDA recorded the reason as “Product is mislabeled”. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
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 211 on 2025-07-28 to 280 on 2026-08-13 (net +69). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
Package and trademark records name different responsible entitie
The package says manufactured by: Nordic Naturals Mfg, Inc., 111 Jennings Drive, Watsonville, CA 95076. USPTO names Nordic Naturals, Inc. as the exact wordmark owner. That can be a normal distributor, manufacturer, or licensing relationship; the saved records do not establish the relationship.
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
Can you send the certificate of analysis (COA) for the lot number on my bottle?
A real COA names the testing laboratory, the test date, the lot it covers, and what was measured. “Third-party tested” with no document behind it is a marketing sentence.
2
What is the product’s UPC or GTIN?
The barcode is how a product gets matched to outside records — certification registries, label databases, recall data. Without it, almost nothing can be cross-checked.
3
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.
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
Look the product up yourself in NSF’s certified-products registry.
Search “Nordic Naturals, Inc.” at info.nsf.org — certification covers contents and contaminants, not effectiveness.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…Third-Party Tested…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the observed listing, saved brand product page, the NSF/ANSI 173 certified-products registry, any linked COA or test report; 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. 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. |
| Benefit claim “…WHY OMEGA-3S - Research shows that the essential fatty acids EPA & DHA in fish oil support heart, brain, eye & immune health.…” | 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. 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-3s | shaded = doses used in studies (300 mg–1.8 g) · bar = this label | 2.15 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.
