Algal Oil
How these lines are chosen
Among 4 products and 4 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 “Delivery known” ranks only products whose retailer publishes a delivery rate; a cheaper product with an unpublished rate is on its own line, or in the full list below. No product here that clears every other bar publishes a delivery rate below its free-delivery threshold, so the pick is priced before delivery.
Why this pick, and what's cheaper
Not a score, no weightings to argue with. It is the cheapest certified option, at this exact package where the certifier names packages, with no recall, warning letter or failed test in the sources we checked, a price its retailer let us read within its cache limit, and no more than a year's supply at the label's serving, priced before delivery: no certified product here publishes a delivery rate below its free-delivery threshold, so what you pay depends on your cart. It is provisional: it is the best answer within the products, retailers and sources we have actually checked, and that universe is still narrow.
Vegan omega-3 from algae, priced per 1,000 mg of combined EPA+DHA as the panel states it. Some carry DHA and no EPA, so the panel figures sit next to the price.
Prices are checked daily where a store can be read automatically; Sports Research is read by hand, less often, and a price past its date says so. Every figure links to its source. Where the data comes from
Of the 4 products here: 1 named at the exact package by a certifier, 2 in no database we searched, 1 listed under a program we do not record (IAOS).

Common questions
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 as each panel prints it, not on the total fish oil weight the front of a bottle names.
Where the data comes from
- Where a servings-per-container figure was not read from the package's own panel, the product page says how it was worked out.
- 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.
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.
