Most fish oil labels lead with the capsule size — 1000 mg, 1450 mg — which tells you how big the capsule is, not how much omega-3 is inside it. The numbers that matter are EPA and DHA.
Here the fish oil is 38% EPA and 25% DHA. The percentages are of the oil, not of the capsule: three softgels, the daily dose, hold 2400 mg of fish oil — that’s 900 mg of EPA and 600 mg of DHA. That daily figure is the one to compare when you’re standing in front of two jars trying to work out which is the better buy.
Three softgels a day, swallowed whole with water after meals — so a jar of ninety lasts a month.
The approved wordings below are tied to EPA and DHA specifically, which is another reason those two letters pairs are worth learning once and then using forever.
