This Omega-3 Fish Oil, Molecularly Distilled Softgels product is a fish oil concentrate listed at 1,000 mg per softgel and presented in an amber color. The page states that the fish oil concentrate is manufactured under strict quality control standards and is tested for potentially harmful levels of contaminants such as PCBs, dioxins, mercury and other heavy metals. A quote from the FDA is included on the page, stating that supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. The page also notes that the Global Organization of EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED) completed its 2022 Randomized Testing Program, in which NOW's Molecularly Distilled Omega-3 was found to be compliant with the GOED Voluntary Monograph quality parameters. The page explains that natural color variation may occur in this product. The product carries the badges GOED, Halal, Intertek GMP Supplement Certification, Keto-Friendly and Non-GMO, and is also labeled as made without dairy, made without eggs, Halal, Keto Friendly, gluten free, non-GMO and made without soy. It is placed in the Omega Fatty Acids category and the page features a video with Dawn Jackson Blatner about omega-3 fatty acids. The bottle is available in 30, 100, 200 and 500 softgel sizes, with listed servings of 15, 50, 100 and 250. The suggested usage is to take 2 softgels twice daily with food, and the page advises storing in a cool, dry place after opening. The Supplement Facts panel lists 2 softgels per serving, 20 calories and 2 g of total fat per serving, with 2 g (2,000 mg) of fish oil concentrate providing 360 mg of EPA and 240 mg of DHA per serving. The other ingredients are a softgel capsule of bovine gelatin (BSE-free), glycerin and water, along with d-alpha Tocopherol from sunflower. The page says the product contains fish, specifically anchovies, sardines and tuna. It states that the product is not manufactured with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, shellfish, tree nut or sesame ingredients, but is produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens. The fish oil is a product of Peru, Morocco, Mauritius and Malaysia, and the product is packaged and quality tested in the USA. The company describes itself as family and employee owned.

Study, Trial or Testing Result Summary
Members Only80 human studies · 29 improved
Each serving gives 2 grams of fish oil concentrate, more than the amount that worked in studies. For blood pressure the research is mixed. A review of 105 trials in 6,805 adults with raised blood pressure found fish oil lowered the top number by about 2.3 points compared with controls [1]. An older review of 31 placebo-controlled trials found an average drop of 3.0 over 1.5 points. The effect was larger at higher doses and in people with high blood pressure, with no effect in healthy people [2]. In pregnant women, one review of 16 studies found a lower risk of preeclampsia, a pregnancy blood pressure disorder [3]. Another review of 11 pregnancy trials found no benefit [4]. A review of 61 trials found marine oils had no effect on blood pressure [5]. In people with poor leg circulation, omega-3 did not change blood pressure [6]. Overall, any benefit appears small and mostly in people who already have high blood pressure. Animal and cell studies are never counted.

Review Totals and Summary
Members Only204,449 reviews · 98% positive
Across the store, the product shows 433 ratings in total (Swanson Vitamins, 423 ratings), and the themes below come from the written reviews that could be read on its page. That written feedback arrived as an AI-generated summary of recent reviews, which itself warns that it may include incentivized reviews and may not reflect every individual experience, so it is best read as a general picture rather than a complete record. All of it concerns the softgels, and no other forms were mentioned. What buyers praise: The product is described as NOW Ultra Omega-3, delivering 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA in enteric coated softgels, and it is linked with support for heart, brain, eye and nerve health. Customers value the odourless finish of the softgel and say it is gentle on digestion. This fits the page's claim that the enteric coating makes the product easier to tolerate for people who get nausea or reflux from other fish oils. Buyers also notice and appreciate molecular distillation and purity testing. Packaging gets a mention too: customers like the Canadian recycled plastic packaging. Reviewers who write about the product appear to focus on the softgel itself rather than on the packaging alone. Taste and form: Taste is praised, with many reviewers appreciating the lack of a fishy aftertaste, which is often the main complaint people raise about fish oil supplements. Many customers find the softgels easy to swallow, despite their size. What buyers complain about: The most common criticism is size, with a few customers saying the softgels are large. This looks like a minority view, since many others say they swallow them easily and it does not seem to stop most buyers from using the product. No other drawbacks were raised. Who it seems to suit: The enteric coating, lack of odour and gentle digestion suggest it suits people who get nausea, reflux or a fishy repeat from other fish oils. It would also suit buyers who care about purity testing and molecular distillation, and those looking for a 1,000 mg EPA and DHA product to support heart, brain, eye and nerve health. Ratings picture: The star breakdown supports broad satisfaction. Around 80% of ratings are five stars and 17% are four stars, with about 1% at three stars, about 1% at two stars and none at one star on this page. Overall: The written themes describe a fish oil valued for being easy to swallow, having little odour or aftertaste, being gentle on the stomach and being tested for purity, with size as the one commonly raised drawback. Value for money and price were not discussed in the feedback. The summary covers only recent reviews on this page, so newer or older feedback may differ.

RAL Summary
Members OnlyTier 4 for Blood Pressure
The review summary and the counts describe NOW Ultra Omega-3, an enteric coated softgel with 1,000 mg of omega-3s sold through Swanson, not this molecularly distilled fish oil, so those reviews are set aside. Its reviews are set aside, so it is graded on its studies alone. Human studies support Fish Oil (29 of 80 human studies showed an improvement), but there are not yet enough reviews to confirm it (0).
- Emerging: not enough evidence to rank higher yet.
Where the evidence disagrees: 38 of the 80 human studies found no effect.
More Details
Members OnlyBody systems · Combine with · Possible side effects
Body systems: Cardiovascular system
Combine with: Fish oil (EPA/DHA) has clinical evidence for modestly lowering blood pressure, especially at higher doses (about 2-3 g/day combined EPA+DHA), and for lowering triglycerides. To support healthy blood pressure, it pairs well with magnesium (glycinate or taurate), which promotes vascular relaxation, and with potassium from food or a modest supplement, which helps balance sodium. CoQ10 (ubiquinol) supports cardiac energy metabolism and has shown modest blood pressure benefits. Vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 support healthy calcium handling and arterial health. Aged garlic extract and beet root (dietary nitrate) have trial evidence for supporting nitric oxide and blood pressure. Taking fish oil with a fat-containing meal improves absorption, and adding vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) helps protect the oils from oxidation. People on meds or antihypertensive medications should consult their doctor before combining these supplements.
Possible side effects: No major side effects reported.
