California Gold

California Gold’s Omega-3 soft gels are one of the most affordable fish oil supplements available.

That doesn’t mean it skimps on quality, though. California Gold is one of iHerb’s brands, and this one, in particular, has been independently tested by third-party labs. iHerb has its certificate of analysis that is readily available online.

The total omega-3 content is lower than the other supplements on this list. However, it makes it more accessible for people who may not be able to manage a higher dosage.

Note: These capsules are made with fish gelatin instead of beef or bovine gelatin.

Available at $12.20 for 100 capsules, the cost per serving is only $0.24.

Doctor’s Best Purified and Clear Omega 3 Fish Oil

These omega-3 softgels from Doctor’s Best contain 1,400 milligrams (mg) of omega-3s per serving.

They’re made with fish oil certified by International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS), a third-party certification program specifically for fish oil products.

With almost 4,000 reviews on iHerb, 86% of reviewers rated the softgels 5 stars.

You can find them for $25.01 on iHerb for 100 capsules, with a cost just $0.42 per serving.

Nordic Naturals

Dubbed the best overall fish oil supplement by Healthline, this omega-3 supplement is highly rated not only by customers, but also by registered dietitian Kelli McGrane.

In addition to being third-party tested, Nordic Naturals keeps the certificate of analyses available on its website so the contents are clear for everyone to see.

This brand has been on Kelli’s radar for years because of its transparency practices. She also likes using these capsules.

“While the capsules are quite large, I’ve found them easy to swallow. Plus…I particularly appreciate that the soft gels have a pleasant lemon flavor that masks any fishiness.”

Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega-3 Soft Gels are available for $27.16 for 120 capsule bottle on iHerb, costing only $0.45 per serving.

Carlson Labs

With over 47,000 reviews, Carlson Labs’ Omega-3 soft gels are another great pick of fish oil supplements.

This omega-3 supplement is third-party certified by IFOS and the International Genetically Modified Organism Evaluation and Notification Program.

Though the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not monitor or regulate supplements, Carlson Labs has its products independently tested by FDA-registered laboratories.

Reviewers say though the size of the pill is big, the soft gels go down relatively easily and there are no fishy aftertastes.

The dosage of EPA and DHA is manageable, with a total of 1,200 mg of omega-3 fatty acids available in each serving.

These softgels are available on iHerb at $41.91 for 180 capsules, or $0.47 per serving.
