HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Fresh Omega Extra Virgin Norwegian Salmon Oil by MRM

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 11 of its 11 active ingredients.
  • “Docosahexaenoic Acid” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (60 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Fresh Omega Extra Virgin Norwegian Salmon Oil contains 11 ingredients, most of which are the omega fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, and omega-3, omega-5, omega-6, omega-7, and omega-9 totals) that give salmon oil its reputation as a heart-healthy supplement. The product also includes astaxanthin, a red carotenoid from algae that acts as an antioxidant.

The remaining inactive ingredients are gelatin, purified water, vegetable glycerin, ascorbyl palmitate, tocopherols, canola oil, and rosemary extract — all excipients that stabilize and preserve the capsule.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Astaxanthin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: cardiovascular health and lipid biomarkers.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Heart failure, Metabolic syndrome, Diabetes, Stroke — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Astaxanthin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Heart failure (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Astaxanthin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diabetes, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Stroke, and more.

We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate astaxanthin's effectiveness for age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer's disease, athletic performance, or carpal tunnel syndrome. The effectiveness data we have on file for this product doesn't establish proven benefits for any of these conditions, though research continues.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Astaxanthin

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data remain limited. Common side effects are mild and include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools — a harmless cosmetic effect.

At higher doses (40 mg daily), severe stomach or abdominal pain has been reported in a small number of users, so start at the lowest dose and watch how you feel. There isn't enough safety data to recommend this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, talk with your own doctor or pharmacist about whether this supplement is right for you before taking it.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Astaxanthin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 672 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your own doctor or pharmacist if you take any medications processed by CYP3A4 enzymes (which include a wide range of common drugs) or CYP2B6 enzymes — astaxanthin may lower their blood levels. Altogether, these interactions span 672 individual medications.

We couldn't check the omega fatty acids in this supplement because we hold no interaction data for them.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This salmon oil supplement is a straightforward source of omega fatty acids and astaxanthin, generally well tolerated at typical doses. The main thing to know is that astaxanthin may affect how your liver metabolizes certain medications, so check your exact prescriptions with your own pharmacist or doctor before you start.

If you take drugs that depend on CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 enzymes, you'll want to clear it first. Not recommended in pregnancy or while nursing without professional guidance.
