Should I Still Take Salmon Oil?

Yes! While our Vitamin D3 in Salmon Oil contains a significant amount of omega-3s, it's not enough to replace the greater amount in our Salmon Oil.

But our Vitamin D3 softgels contain enough omega-3s to make a difference.

Health authorities worldwide recommend taking 500mg of omega-3s per day, and a 3,000mg daily serving* of our Sockeye Salmon Oil provides 460mg.

Taking one Vitamin D3 softgel adds another 45mg, raising your daily omega-3 intake to 505mg ... just what health authorities recommend!

*3000mg is the amount in three of our 1000mg softgels, six of our 500mg softgels, or 3/4 tsp of our liquid salmon oil.

• Potency and purity certified by NSF
• Small, 300 mg size
• Fish-gelatin softgels
• 2,000 IU of D3 per softgel
• Wild Alaskan salmon oil base
• No artificial preservatives, color, dairy, starch, wheat or yeast

Our unique supplement provides 2000 international units (IU) of vitamin D3.

Unlike any other vitamin D supplement, ours comes in a base of our wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Oil, which the independent Marine Stewardship Council certifies as sustainably harvested.

Wild salmon are extraordinarily rich in vitamin D3 ... so our Vitamin D3 in Sockeye Salmon Oil offers a very natural way to supplement your diet with an essential nutrient that's also an exceptionally powerful health-promoter.

In addition to vitamin D3, each small, easy to swallow 300 mg softgel provides 60 mg of omega-3s, including 46 mg of EPA+DHA.

The remaining 240mg in each 300mg capsule consists of other naturally occuring fatty compounds in salmon oil, about 34 IU of naturally occuring vitamin D3, and 2000 IU of added natural vitamin D3. (Vitamin D3 has negligible weight or volume.)

Our Vitamin D3 softgels also contain about 0.036mg of astaxanthin, the naturally occuring, powerfully antioxidant carotene pigment that gives our unrefined wild salmon oil its bright orange hue and protects it from oxidation.

Certified purity and potency

The purity and potency of our Vitamin D3 in Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Oil are certified by NSF International.

Like virtually all vitamin D3, ours is extracted from lanolin. This waxy, safe, hypoallergenic substance is secreted by sheep and other wool-bearing animals. (Practical marine sources of vitamin D3 are not currently available.)

Lanolin is extracted by pressing wool through rollers, and is commonly used in moisturizers and to treat diaper rash, dry skin, chapped lips, and nursing mothers’ chapped nipples.

Wild Alaskan salmon rank high among the purest of all ocean fish, consistently testing free of hazardous levels of contaminants. To learn how our Salmon Oil is produced, click here.

Recommended intake of vitamin D
The U.S. recommended daily allowances (RDAs) for vitamin D are 200 IU (birth to age 50), 400 IU (age 51-70) and 600 IU (age 71-plus).

Substantial peer-reviewed evidence supports leading researchers' recommendations that the U.S. Institute of Medicine raise the U.S. RDAs substantially.

In October of 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended a doubling of the RDA for infants, children, and adolescents, from 200 IU to 400 IU (Wagner CL et al. 2008).

You will find more information in an article by vitamin D researcher professor Edward Giovannucci, M.D., Sc.D., of Harvard University's School of Public Health.

Please consult your physician regarding adequate and safe intake levels for your family members.

Top food sources of vitamin D
Albacore tuna (approx. 540 IU per 3.5 oz serving) and wild Alaskan salmon (approx. 220 to 680 IU per 3.5 oz serving) rank as the richest known food sources of vitamin D3, with sockeye salmon topping the list.

Mackerel, sablefish, halibut, and sardines provide approximately 150 to 225 IU of vitamin D3 per 3.5 oz serving.

Recommended intake of vitamin D
The U.S. recommended daily allowances (RDAs) for vitamin D are 200 IU (birth to age 50), 400 IU (age 51-70) and 600 IU (age 71-plus).

Substantial peer-reviewed evidence supports leading researchers' recommendations that the U.S. Institute of Medicine raise the U.S. RDAs substantially.

In October of 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended a doubling of the RDA* for infants, children, and adolescents, from 200 IU to 400 IU.

To help ensure optimal health, most researchers involved in vitamin D studies recommend minimum blood levels ranging from 90 to 120 nmol/L (36 to 48 ng/mL).

However, normal human blood levels* of vitamin D extend above 200 nmol/L or 80 ng/mL.

Though the official upper intake limit is now 2,000 IU per day, vitamin D intake is proven safe* at a daily intake level of 10,000 IU ... which is 25 times the current RDA for adults 51 or older (400 IU).

Most experts say that the evidence supports a daily intake of at least 1,000 IU via food and supplements, and most prefer an intake of 2,000 IU to 4,000 IU per day*. This intake level applies to all people, but is especially advised for darker skinned people who spend less than 30 minutes per day in strong sunlight.

Darker skinned people, whose greater amount of skin pigment blocks the UV rays that make vitamin D, need more sun exposure. You will find more information in an article by vitamin D researcher professor Edward Giovannucci, M.D., Sc.D., of Harvard University's School of Public Health.
