Carlson Elite Omega-3 Gems: what the IFOS report shows

Last reviewed July 2026.

This is what the paperwork behind Elite Omega-3 Gems, Wild Norwegian, Natural Lemon, 1600 mg, 120 Softgels actually says. The tested lot (SB017377) carries an IFOS certificate — the public, per-lot consumer report, and the numbers below come from that report, not from the label.

The tested numbers

• Measured EPA: 422 mg per serving
• Measured DHA: 330 mg per serving
• Combined EPA+DHA: 752 mg per serving — 107% of the 700 mg label claim (over-delivers)
• TOTOX (freshness): 17.74 — passing, but on the high side — worth knowing if freshness is your priority (what TOTOX means)
• Heavy metals: passed all CRN/GOED limits in the tested lot
• Form: TG (triglyceride — the form found in fish)

What a gram of it costs

At $38.63 for 120 servings (current price on iHerb ↗), this works out to $0.43 per gram of measured EPA+DHA — #6 of 8 tested products we track. The sticker price and the per-gram price rank very differently; the full ranking shows exactly what beats it.
