What it is
Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega in lemon flavor is a fish oil dietary supplement supplying 1280 mg of total omega-3s per two–soft gel serving, in a bottle of 60 soft gels. The Supplement Facts panel lists 30 servings in the bottle. The oil is purified deep sea fish oil sourced from anchovies and sardines, and the front label describes it as being in triglyceride form.
This is the 60-soft gel bottle, which works out to 30 servings — a practical size for someone adding a concentrated omega-3 to a daily routine for the first time, or for anyone who would rather restock more often than keep a large bottle of oil open for months. You can find it alongside the rest of our Supplements for Men range.
What's inside
The formula is short, and every component on the panel has a clear job. Here is what the ingredient line actually lists.
- Purified deep sea fish oil (from anchovies and sardines). Anchovies and sardines are small, fast-maturing oily fish that sit low in the marine food chain. They are the standard raw material for concentrated fish oil supplements, and the oil is purified before it is encapsulated.
- EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) — 650 mg per serving. EPA is one of the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found naturally in oily fish. It is the larger of the two fractions in this particular formula.
- DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) — 450 mg per serving. DHA is the other long-chain marine omega-3. Together with EPA and a further 180 mg of other omega-3s, it makes up the 1280 mg total printed on the front of the bottle.
- Soft gel capsule (gelatin, glycerin, water, natural lemon flavor). The shell itself is flavored, not just the oil inside it.
- Natural lemon flavor. Added to the oil as well as the shell. Lemon is the flavor variant of this SKU.
- d-alpha tocopherol. The panel identifies this as an antioxidant. It is a naturally occurring form of vitamin E, and in a fish oil it is there to keep the oil from oxidizing rather than as a nutrient in its own right. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements publishes a general fact sheet on vitamin E if you want background on the compound.
- Rosemary extract. Listed on the panel as a natural preservative, and a common one in oil-based supplements.
The panel also states, in its own words, that the product contains no gluten, no milk derivatives and no artificial colors or flavors.

How to use it
Follow the usage and storage directions printed on the bottle itself. The Supplement Facts panel defines a serving as 2 soft gels and states that the bottle holds 30 servings; the manufacturer's instructions for when and how to take those servings are on the bottle, and those are the ones to follow. We transcribe what the panel prints rather than paraphrasing directions we cannot verify.
If you take prescription medication or are managing a health condition, the sensible step before starting any new supplement is a conversation with a pharmacist or your own clinician. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements has a plain-language guide on what to know before using dietary supplements.
Who it's for
This is a general-purpose omega-3 soft gel for adults 18 and over who want a concentrated fish oil in a lemon-flavored format. The 60-count size suits someone trying a concentrated omega-3 for the first time, or anyone who would rather buy a smaller bottle more frequently. It is stocked here alongside our other men's supplements, though nothing on the label restricts it to any one group of adults.
It is not suitable for anyone avoiding fish or gelatin. The soft gel shell is gelatin-based, and the oil is a marine product, so this is not a vegetarian or vegan supplement.
Good to know
- Fish and shellfish. The oil comes from anchovies and sardines. If you have a fish allergy, this is not the product for you.
- Talk to a professional first. This is worth doing if you are pregnant, nursing, scheduled for surgery, or taking any prescription medicine. NCCIH publishes general guidance on the safety of dietary and herbal supplements.
- Keep out of reach of children. Soft gels are easy for a child to mistake for candy.
- Storage. Store as directed on the bottle.
- Adults 18 and over.
