Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega: EPA and DHA Levels, and What the Certifications Cover
Ultimate Omega is $29.95 for 60 soft gels on Nordic Naturals’ own site — a dollar a day at the label serving. Two soft gels carry 650 mg EPA and 450 mg DHA, and the certifications it holds are about sustainability, not banned-substance screening.

A correction on the price
An earlier version of this page listed $48. Nordic Naturals’ own product page sells the 60-count soft gels at $29.95, or $26.96 on a 10% subscription. Larger counts exist at third-party retailers but are not priced on nordic.com, and no size on the manufacturer’s site costs $48.
What the certifications actually certify
Nordic Naturals holds Friend of the Sea certification and an Igen non-GMO test mark, and the label carries a “3rd Party Purity Tested” claim. Friend of the Sea certifies fishery sustainability — how the fish were caught, not what an athlete can safely take.
There is no NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Sport listing. If you are drug-tested for sport, this is the distinction that matters, and it is one a lot of write-ups blur.
The soft gel is fish gelatin
The capsule shell is tilapia-derived fish gelatin. It is not bovine or porcine, and it is not vegetarian or vegan. Worth knowing if you avoid gelatin for religious or dietary reasons — the shell is as relevant as the oil.
Sourcing, as published
Nordic Naturals states the oil is from 100% wild-caught fish sourced exclusively from Friend of the Sea certified fisheries, and that certificates of analysis are available. The label states the product contains no gluten, no milk derivatives and no synthetic dyes.
