One of those “bargain” fish-oils with hardly any active ingredient (EPA & DHA),
Here’s one problem: many people get confused about the dosage. Why? Because they don’t realize there’s a difference between a gram of fish oil and a gram of its active ingredients (the omega-3s DHA and EPA.) The dose often recommended is 1 gram of omega-3s — the EPA and the DHA together. But depending on the brand, a 1 gram (1,000 milligram) fish oil capsule may contain only 300 milligrams of DHA and EPA combined. So to get 1 gram of omega-3s, you’d have to take four capsules — 4 grams of fish oil.

As of this review:
1. Notice there isn’t a Nutrition label on this product image on the Amazon product page.
2. Notice the product description does not specify the mg of EPA or DHA.
I did find the Nutrition information on the active ingredients for this product from another site:
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – —
Fish Oil 1000mg(1 g)
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) – NOT LISTED
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) – NOT LISTED
Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids 300mg
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – —
So this product has 300mg of Omega-3’s and it DOES not specify what amount of this 300mg is from EPA or DHA. They couldn’t bother to figure it out?
I expected better from Optimum Nutrition (ON).
I expected much better from Amazon, because EPA and DHA are the active ingredients, how can you not ensure fishoil products pages have this information?

miracle drug,
I work with cardiovascular surgeons everyday and everyone of them have told me that introducing fish oils into one’s diet brings a bunch of benefits- blood flow, weight loss, and digestive health.
