Optimize Omegas Full Spectrum Norwegian Salmon Oil Softgels
Optimize MineralsAnalysis updated October 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
Optimize Omegas scores 90/100. Unrefined, full-spectrum Norwegian salmon oil (2,000 mg per two softgels) in a bovine gelatin softgel, with no flavorings or preservatives. It keeps the oil's natural profile, including astaxanthin and vitamins A and D, though the EPA and DHA per serving are modest (32 mg and 70 mg; 280 mg of total omega-3) next to concentrated fish oils. Lab tested: the supplier's certificate shows lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury each below 0.1 ppm, a low peroxide value (3.5 meq/kg against a 5.0 limit) and a clean microbial panel.
