Whole Omega-3 Wild Salmon Oil ... Certified-Pure



Our "whole food"
Omega-3 Salmon Oil supplements contain only unrefined oil from wild Alaska Sockeye Salmon: a fish whose renowned purity is reflected in the pristine contents of our naturally colorful capsules.

Unlike standard fish oils, our naturally pure Sockeye Salmon Oil does not need to be chemically refined: a process that can damage omega-3s. Instead, our oil's 
purity and potency are certified by NSF.

As a result, our whole, unrefined Sockeye Salmon Oil retains all of the omega-3s (EPA & DHA), vitamin D, phospholipids, and fatty acids natural to whole Sockeye Salmon. 

The rich orange hue of our Salmon Oil comes from its natural complement of astaxanthin: the super-potent antioxidant pigment that gives Sockeye their distinctive color and protects our Salmon Oil's abundant omega-3s from oxidation.

In addition, ours was the first Salmon Oil supplement certified as sustainably sourced by the Marine Stewardship Council
.

We encapsulate our Salmon Oil in pure fish gelatin, and offer special varieties for special needs:

 Smaller Softgels (500 mg)
 
Liquid Salmon Oil for children and folks who may have trouble swallowing our 1,000 mg softgels
 
Lemon-Flavored Salmon Oil for folks who experience bounce-back.

Our Utterly Unique Vitamin D
 
We are pleased to introduce a high-quality, higher-potency vitamin D supplement … one with unique attractions!
 
Each tiny, 300 mg softgel capsule of Vital Choice Vitamin D3 in Wild Sockeye Salmon Oil provides a generous 2,000 International Units (IU) of vitamin D3.
 
D3 is the preferred, natural form of this amazing vitamin, and ours is certified pure and potent by NSF .
 
Better yet, our D3 comes in a base of whole, unrefined, certified-pure, sockeye salmon oil, certified sustainable by the MSC .
 
Each Vitamin D3 softgel contains 45mg of omega-3s, but health authorities recommend 500mg of omega-3s per day, so it doesn't replace fish oil.
 
A 3,000mg daily serving of our Sockeye Salmon Oil provides 460mg, so if you also take one Vitamin D3 in Salmon Oil softgel per day, that would bring your supplemental omega-3 intake to a perfect 505mg!

Mouthwatering Sardines & Mackerel...Six Varieties!
 
 
 
We went all the way to Portugal to find the world's finest Sardines and Mackerel!
 
They're custom packed for us by a family that's been at it for more than 100 years. And for us, they select only the richest fish, caught at their peak of omega-3 content.
 
Our Atlantic Mackerel comes packed either in Water with No Salt Added or in Organic Exta Virgin Olive Oil.
 
Our Portuguese Sardines come in 4 varieties: Organic EV Olive Oil, Organic Tomato Sauce, Spicy (one organic red chili pepper!), and Water Pack with No Salt Added.
 
Pull top cans. Certified Kosher by Earth Kosher (Full Oversight).
 
“Just wanted to tell you that those are the BEST sardines I have ever eaten. They are well worth the extra money. Of course, why would I think the sardines would be any different from all the other tasty and high quality fish you offer?” -- Jean Singer, Eustis, FL

Salmon with a Fennel, Onion, White Bean Salad and Orange-Tomato Sauce
Recipe by Stefani Marnon of Juneau, Alaska. Prep time 15 minutes.
Serves 6
 
 
White Bean Salad
2 cans (15 oz. each) white beans, drained and rinsed
1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
1 Tablespoon fennel top greens, minced
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
 
Orange-Tomato Sauce
3 cans (5.5 oz. each) tomato juice
2 Tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
 
Prepare White Bean Salad: Mix all ingredients in a large bowl; set aside.
 
Prepare Orange-Tomato Sauce: Bring ingredients to a simmer in a small saucepan; keep warm. 
  • Heat a heavy nonstick skillet or ridged stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of salmon with oil. Place salmon in heated skillet and cook, uncovered, about 3 to 4 minutes, until browned. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking.
  • Turn salmon over and season with salt and pepper. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium. Cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
  • To serve, place 1/2 cup beans in the middle of a plate. Pour 1/4 cup sauce around the beans and top with salmon portion. Garnish with fennel tops (optional).
