Bottle labels can be confusing—serving sizes, total fish oil vs EPA/DHA, and added antioxidants. Here’s how to decode the essentials quickly and choose with confidence.
What to Check First
- Per‑serving EPA + DHA, not just “fish oil” mg.
- Presence of antioxidants (e.g., olive polyphenols) for stability.
- Clear use directions and storage guidance.
Math Made Easy
If a serving is 10 ml and lists 1500 mg EPA + DHA combined, that’s your effective omega‑3 dose per serving. Compare across products using combined EPA+DHA.
Quality Signals
- Third‑party testing, lot traceability, and freshness controls.
- Transparent sourcing and certifications where applicable.
