Fish Oil Price Comparison: Cost Per 1,000 mg EPA + DHA

Why bottle size and total fish-oil weight do not by themselves show comparable omega-3 value.

The EPA-plus-DHA calculation

Add the declared EPA and DHA per serving, multiply by the number of servings, then divide package price by the result in milligrams and multiply by 1,000. Do not substitute total fish-oil weight when EPA and DHA are listed separately.

Start with information you can verify

Read the product label before comparing a headline claim. This guide focuses on separately declared EPA and DHA, total servings, package price, and cost per 1,000 mg of EPA plus DHA. Use the stated numbers and leave any undisclosed value unknown.

Compare the same unit

For a worked example only, a $30 package with 60 servings containing 500 mg EPA and 300 mg DHA per serving provides 48 g of declared EPA plus DHA. Its cost is $0.63 per 1,000 mg EPA plus DHA. This is label arithmetic, not nutrition advice.

Keep price and formulation separate

A package price is a useful starting point, but it does not describe the full formula. Compare the ingredient information and package size first, then use one common calculation to make the cost easier to understand.

Frequently asked questions

What should I compare first?

Start with the declared active amount and serving information. A front-label phrase cannot replace the values in the product facts panel.

Does this page rank products?

No. It explains a comparison method and links to current catalog data rather than claiming a permanent winner.
