How these lines are chosen
Among 49 products and 49 retailer listings we track; Amazon and Walmart are not included. A month is thirty doses of the size in the heading, priced the same way as the per-dose figure beside it. “Delivery known” ranks only products whose retailer publishes a delivery rate; a cheaper product with an unpublished rate is on its own line, or in the full list below.
Why this pick
Not a score, no weightings to argue with. It is the cheapest per delivered dose among products clearing four factual bars (a certification we confirmed applies to this package, naming it where the certifier names packages; no recall, warning letter or failed test in the sources we checked; a price its retailer let us read within its cache limit; no more than a year's supply at the label's serving) and whose delivery cost we actually know. It is provisional: it is the best answer within the products, retailers and sources we have actually checked, and that universe is still narrow.
A softgel's total oil is not its EPA and DHA, so a bottle price tells you little. Priced per 1,000 mg of EPA+DHA; panels that omit those get no price per dose.
Prices checked daily. Every figure links to its source. Where the data comes from
Of the 49 products here: 12 named at the exact package by a certifier, 9 certified batch by batch, 1 at another size only, 1 listed but not confirmed at its package, 26 in no database we searched.
49 of 49 products
13 rows marked + delivery exclude an unpublished delivery charge, so their real cost per dose is higher.

Common questions
What is the cheapest omega-3 per 1,000 mg of EPA+DHA?
Every omega-3 we track, priced per 1,000 mg of combined EPA+DHA instead of per softgel or per bottle, split by fish, algal and krill oil.
Why does my fish oil label not say how much EPA and DHA it has?
Some fish oil panels print a total omega-3 figure, or only the oil weight, and name EPA and DHA with no amounts. Those cannot be priced per dose.
Which fish oil and omega-3 brands are third-party tested?
Every fish, algal and krill oil we track, grouped by whether a certifier names the exact bottle sold, another size, or nothing we found.
Do third-party tested supplements cost more?
The cheapest product we track in each category beside the cheapest one a certifier names at the exact package, where one exists, and the gap per dose.
How many fish oil capsules make 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA?
Fish, algal and krill oils by how many softgels reach 1,000 mg of combined EPA and DHA, read from each label. A price yardstick, not a recommended dose.
Is BulkSupplements third party tested?
Every BulkSupplements product we track, by whether a certifier names the exact package sold, only another size, or nothing we found. With listing IDs.
Do supplement travel packs cost more per dose?
Every travel pack or single-serve packet we price, next to the same brand’s smallest tub or bottle of the same product, per comparison dose.

Every Thorne product we price, checked in NSF’s Certified for Sport database: which listing names the exact package sold, with the listing IDs.

Every Optimum Nutrition product we track, checked in the certifier databases: what each listing covers, package by package, with the listing IDs.

Every Momentous product we price, checked in NSF’s Certified for Sport database: where a listing names the exact package, and where it names another size.
Is BPN third party tested?
Every Bare Performance Nutrition product we price, checked in NSF’s Certified for Sport database: which package each listing names, and which it does not.
Which supplements are NSF Certified for Sport?
Every package we price that NSF names in its Certified for Sport database, by category, with the listing IDs and what each listing actually covers.
Krill oil vs fish oil: which costs less per dose of EPA and DHA?
What krill oil and fish oil cost for the same EPA and DHA, and how many softgels of each it takes to get there. Algal oil is priced alongside them.
Do supplement prices actually change?
We re-read every price we can read automatically each day and keep every reading. Which prices have moved since we started, which have not, and by how much.
How many capsules is one serving?
How many pills the label calls one serving, across every capsule, tablet and softgel we price, and what that does to the count on the front of the bottle.
Is BUBS Naturals third party tested?
Every BUBS Naturals product we price, checked in NSF’s Certified for Sport database: which listing names the exact package sold, with the listing IDs.

Every Sports Research product we track, checked in the certifier databases: which program lists each one, and which no database we searched lists.
Is Nature Made third party tested?
Every Nature Made product we price, checked against USP’s Verified Products directory and its own label: which packages carry both, product by product.
Is Nature Made fish oil USP Verified?
Nature Made fish oil, bottle by bottle: which are in USP’s Verified directory with the USP Verified Mark on the label, and which we found no row for.
Is Sports Research fish oil third party tested?
Sports Research fish oil, krill oil and algal DHA checked bottle by bottle against the Nutrasource directory that publishes IFOS results and NSF’s database.
Is Momentous fish oil NSF certified?
Momentous Omega-3, its travel packs and the vegan omega-3 checked against NSF Certified for Sport and the IFOS directory, with the listing IDs.
About these numbers
What “per dose” means here: 1,000mg combined EPA + DHA
1,000 mg of combined EPA + DHA is a round number chosen so that products with very different oil concentrations are priced on the same amount of the thing they are bought for. Signed off by Dan on September 12, 2026 as the family's yardstick, on the same footing as the others: a unit for comparing prices, not a recommended intake, and it cannot change which product is cheapest, because every product in the family is scaled by the same number. Compared on EPA + DHA only: total omega-3 and total oil are shown as specs and never used as the basis. The reference is cited for the yardstick alone, and this rationale deliberately makes no claim about what trials or guidelines use.
Compared on EPA+DHA, not total fish oil. A "1,000 mg fish oil" softgel commonly contains only 300 mg of the omega-3s that trials actually studied.

Where the data comes from
Every claim links to its source. Products, prices and certification listings are read from the retailers' own stores and the certifiers' own databases, and each figure links to the record it came from, so you can check any of them.
- Where a label does not state servings per container, the figure is derived from net weight and the product page says so.
- Amazon and Walmart are not included, so “cheapest” means cheapest among the retailers we track.
- Prices go stale. Each one shows when it was last checked, and says so when it is older than the retailer allows us to cache it.
- iHerb prices cannot be refreshed automatically. iHerb has not given us access to its price data, so those prices are marked stale until they are re-read. Each retailer offer carries its own check date.
Found something wrong? Tell us. Corrections are the point.
How we make money
No Buy button on this page earns us anything. The only links on the site that can are the Amazon links shown below the price comparison on some product pages, outside the comparison, and each says so beside it.
Commission will play no part in what we list, how it ranks, or which link we send you to. The Buy button points at the lowest price we have recorded even when that retailer pays us nothing.
