Carlson The Very Finest Fish Oil review

Carlson The Very Finest Fish Oil is a long-running choice for buyers who care about taste. Each two-soft-gel serving holds 2 g of Norwegian fish oil from anchovy, sardine and mackerel, giving 700 mg of omega-3s with 360 mg of EPA and 240 mg of DHA. The soft gels come in lemon, orange or natural flavor, and Carlson says the oil is lab tested for freshness, potency and purity. Carlson has been family-owned since 1965. The 120 count bottle costs $39.90 one-time, which the page lists as $0.67 per serving, and Subscribe & Save takes 15% off to $33.92 with free shipping and free gifts on later deliveries. Value is where it falls behind: at about $0.95 per 1,000 mg of omega-3, it costs more per gram than every other product here, and its EPA and DHA dose is close to Nature Made's at more than twice the price. The shell uses beef gelatin.
