Frequently asked questions
- What fish is Carlson Salmon Oil made from?
- Wild-caught Norwegian salmon, used as a single source rather than a blend of mixed small fish. Carlson states the softgels are over 50% salmon oil.
- How many softgels is a serving?
- Carlson's stated intake is two softgels once daily at mealtime, together providing 500 mg of omega-3 EPA and DHA.
- What certifications does it carry?
- It is IFOS certified, meaning batches are independently tested for purity, potency and freshness, and it is IGEN-tested as non-GMO.
- How does salmon oil differ from standard fish oil?
