Omega-3 & fish oil value comparison

How to compare omega-3 prices

Omega-3 packages commonly emphasize total fish oil, softgel count, or a potency claim, but those numbers do not describe the same thing as EPA and DHA. SuppScan compares the separately declared EPA and DHA amounts per serving and across the container when the label provides them. This keeps a bottle with many low-content softgels from looking cheaper solely because it contains more units.

Record EPA and DHA in milligrams, softgels or liquid volume per serving, servings per container, total fish-oil amount, and product form. Add EPA and DHA for the shared comparison amount while retaining each component as visible label information. Do not substitute total fish-oil weight for EPA plus DHA, and do not infer a missing EPA or DHA value from a front-label phrase such as concentrated or high potency.

The package calculation is package price divided by total declared EPA plus DHA, scaled to 1,000 mg. Price per stated serving is a useful second metric, especially when serving definitions differ, but it does not replace the combined active-amount calculation. A bottle with 90 softgels may have 45 servings if the label uses two softgels per serving, so count and serving count must be read together.

Keep formats and additional ingredients visible. Softgels, liquids, capsules, gummies, and products with added vitamins may use different serving units, flavour systems, or label fields. A normalized price does not measure freshness, testing, sourcing, taste, or quality, and missing label data should remain unknown. SuppScan only calculates from values that can be traced to the available product information.

Use the portion calculator to compare current offers, then check the product page for the full facts panel, merchant conditions, currency, stock, and update date. Retail prices, promotions, package sizes, and formulas can change. This guide is about reading labels and comparing package economics; it does not make medical claims or recommend a product for an individual situation.
