Sports Research Alaskan Omega-3 Fish Oil (Triple Strength)

• IFOS lists it. Nutrasource’s registry has an entry for “Omega-3 Fish Oil AlaskOmega 1250 mg” with lot reports. We opened the report for lot UC260440, which expires 08/2029.
• That lot was fresh: TOTOX 5.64 (IFOS limit 19.5, GOED limit 26), peroxide 1.76 meq/kg and anisidine 2.12. Mercury was below 0.0121 ppm, lead below 0.0064 ppm and PCBs 0.52 ppb.
• The lot tested at 738 mg EPA and 306 mg DHA a softgel. IFOS lists the claim as 690 mg EPA and 260 mg DHA.
• It names one source: wild-caught Alaska pollock. The IFOS entry carries MSC chain-of-custody code MSC-C-55162, and MSC’s own supplier directory lists Sports Research Corporation under that code as certified, with walleye pollock among its species.
• At Vitacost’s 90-count price it works out to about $0.36 a softgel, or about $0.19 per 500 mg of EPA plus DHA. At the $27.95 on Sports Research’s own page it is about $0.31 and $0.16.

• One softgel is about 950 mg of EPA plus DHA. Our sources and dosing guide puts general-health intake at 250 to 500 mg a day. Check with a clinician before taking more if you use blood thinners or have atrial fibrillation (see omega-3 and heart health).
• MSC’s listing is a company-level chain-of-custody certificate. It does not name this product or its fishery, so the link to this bottle rests on the code in IFOS’s entry and Sports Research’s label.
• Sports Research’s website blocked our automated fetches with a security checkpoint, which we did not try to pass. We read its product page from a September 2026 archive copy, so wording and price may have changed.
• Sports Research also sells a similarly named “Triple Strength” fish oil made from anchovy, sardine and mackerel. This page is about the Alaska pollock one, so check the front of the bottle. The softgel is fish gelatin, so it is not for anyone avoiding fish.

• Vitacost approx. $33 for 90 softgels; approx. $59 for 180. Vitacost says it buys from brands or authorized distributors. Sports Research’s own page listed $27.95 for 90 softgels in a September 2026 archive copy; its live site would not open for us.
