California Gold Nutrition Omega-3 Premium Fish Oil: what the iTested report shows
Last reviewed July 2026.
This is what the paperwork behind Omega-3 Premium Fish Oil, 240 Fish Gelatin Softgels actually says. The tested lot (UC190814) carries an iTested report — published by iHerb's in-house program (more than most brands publish, but self-graded, not independent), and the numbers below come from that report, not from the label.
The tested numbers
- Measured EPA: 403 mg per serving
- Measured DHA: 280 mg per serving
- Combined EPA+DHA: 683 mg per serving — 114% of the 600 mg label claim (over-delivers)
- Heavy metals: below the limits printed on the report (values below)
- Form: TG (triglyceride — the form found in fish)
