Fish Oil 1000 mg vs actual omega-3

The front-label fish oil amount is not automatically the EPA plus DHA amount. A useful comparison starts with EPA and DHA per capsule and in the labelled daily dose.

30-SECOND ANSWER

The front-label fish oil amount is not automatically the EPA plus DHA amount. A useful comparison starts with EPA and DHA per capsule and in the labelled daily dose.

Start with the ingredient panel

Locate total fish oil, EPA and DHA as separate figures. Products with the same total fish oil amount can disclose different EPA and DHA amounts.

Convert the labelled daily dose

Multiply the per-capsule EPA and DHA figures by the number of capsules in the labelled daily dose. Compare like with like and follow the actual directions.

Check the whole label

Review capsule count, days supplied, allergens, warnings, storage conditions, AUST L status and delivered price—not only the largest number on the front.
