NOT ALL FISH OR ALGAE OILS
ARE OF THE SAME QUALITY!

If you want to invest in lasting good health, choose
the highest quality products by considering the following:

  1. Purity and Concentration: Opt for the purest and highest-concentrated
    omega-3.
  2. Triglyceride Form: Ensure the product is in triglyceride form for maximum
    absorption.**
  3. Sustainability: Look for certification from sustainable fisheries that only use
    non-threatened species (e.g., Friends of the Sea).
  4. Purity Standards: Select products certified for the highest purity (e.g., IFOS –
    International Fish Oil Standards).***
  5. Eco-Friendly Processing: Prefer oils that are purified at low temperatures to
    ensure environmental friendliness.

The content comparison and ranking across different brands is based on the
nutritional information provided on their respective packaging labels.Variations between batches may occur.

CHECK AND COMPARE LABELS. WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK OUT FOR?

Concentration

This refers to the exact quantity of the most important omega-3 fatty acids in a capsule, i.e. the DHA and EPA concentration. A 1000 mg fish oil capsule may only contain half that amount, or even less in DHA and EPA. It is not because a capsule weighs 1000 mg that it actually contains 1000 mg of pure omega-3 fatty acids. Always check the amount of DHA and EPA per softgel.

Why EPA and DHA in true r-triglyceride form? **

The EPA and DHA rTG (r-triglyceride) form promotes maximum (up to 70% more) and faster absorption by the body compared to ethylesters. This enables us to market the purest and highest potency of essential Omega-3 fatty acids, fewer bulking agents and no unnecessary, unhealthy fats.


Dosage

Depends on the EPA and DHA concentration. Higher concentrations of EPA or DHA require fewer capsules per day to meet your daily requirement. Many fish oil brands mention “1 serving a day “ while most often one serving size means taking 2-5 softgels to reach the necessary daily dose of EPA or DHA (preferably 1 g EPA/DHA per day).

Cost

Don’t be fooled by the cost of a pack of 30, 60 or 90 capsules. Take a closer look at the Supplement Facts on the back of the packaging and ask yourself two questions:

  1. How much DHA+EPA is in one serving?
  2. How many softgels make one serving?

You might be surprised how many capsules you need to take daily, while a 1 g EPA/DHA pack will last much longer than expected.

Cheaper products will soon become expensive if you require four
or more capsules per day.

Certified IFOS analysis per batch***

Some brands state that they are certified by lab IFOS. Sometimes it’s about their supplier’s raw material and not the batch of purchased brand:
