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.
