Analysis

The gelcap provides 300 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA, a useful maintenance amount with an EPA-forward ratio. Borage oil contributes 40 mg GLA, adding a second fatty-acid pathway without crowding the formula.

Individual active amounts are easy to evaluate, which is preferable to an unspecified proprietary oil total. The GLA dose is small, however, so people shopping primarily for borage-derived GLA have stronger options.

The fish-oil molecular form, source species, borage processing method, and antioxidant protection are not stated. Independent purity or contaminant testing is also absent from the supplied information.

Who is it for
  • Adults seeking an EPA-forward maintenance dose
  • People wanting a small GLA addition
  • Users who value separately listed active amounts
Best for
  • Maintenance-level EPA and DHA
  • EPA-forward fatty-acid support
  • Simple marine oil plus GLA coverage

Pros

  • Provides 300 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA
  • Clearly lists each active fatty acid
  • Adds borage-derived GLA

Cons

  • GLA amount is small
  • Does not state molecular form or source species
  • No antioxidant, processing, or independent testing details

Warnings

  • Contains fish oil and should be avoided with fish allergy
  • Borage oil calls for caution in liver disease unless pyrrolizidine-alkaloid-free status is known
  • EPA and DHA may add to bleeding risk with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines

Nutrient quality

81 Highest impact

EPA and DHA provide a useful marine omega foundation. A small GLA amount and incomplete oil-quality details limit depth.

Ingredient transparency

79 High impact

Important active-label details are incomplete or ambiguous. Complete use directions and inactive-ingredient details are not available.

Customer satisfaction

66 High impact

The aggregate satisfaction measure is favorable, with response volume determining how much confidence it deserves. Comment-level evidence is absent, so recurring complaints and purpose fit cannot be verified.

Value for money

54 Moderate impact

Useful EPA and DHA amounts provide real functional value. Premium cost and incomplete quality disclosure weaken the comparison with peers.

EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) · 300 mg OverallScore50
D- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyD+ Value

The serving provides 300 mg EPA, and epa reaches the preferred ratio over dha. EPA makes up a moderate share of the disclosed oil weight, but the molecular form and contaminant-testing status are not disclosed. EPA cost efficiency is moderate, while no oil-protection antioxidant is listed.

Gamma Linolenic Acid · 40 mg OverallScore46
B- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityF Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

Borage oil supplies the GLA, but only a small amount is present because the formula focuses mainly on EPA and DHA. The exact active yield is transparent, while processing and antioxidant-protection details are missing. GLA-specific value is weak even though the broader omega-fatty-acid blend may serve other aims.

View ingredientView products
DHA · 200 mg OverallScore45
C Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityF Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

A 200 mg DHA dose is paired with EPA and borage-derived GLA, but DHA potency remains low. Mixed tocopherols support stability, while the ethyl-ester form and moderate oil concentration limit quality. Cost per gram is high for someone shopping specifically for DHA.

Omega-3

Solgar
<p>A concentrated fish-oil serving raises EPA to 1,008 mg and DHA to 756 mg, far above the original amounts. Mixed natural tocopherols add oxidation support, though GLA and detailed sourcing information are absent.</p>
84 Performance

Alaska Wild Fish Oil Mega Omega-3

21st Century
<p>A clearly measured 965 mg EPA and 385 mg DHA provide much stronger marine omega-3 coverage. GLA is omitted, but the high EPA amount is better aligned with cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory support.</p>
81 Performance

Omega JYM

JYM Supplement Science
<p>Balanced high amounts of 750 mg EPA and 750 mg DHA are joined by 150 mg DPA. It lacks GLA, but the broader and more concentrated marine omega-3 profile is a meaningful upgrade for fish-oil-focused use.</p>
84 Budget

Mega EPA/DHA

Life Extension
<p>Lower serving cost provides 720 mg EPA and 480 mg DHA, substantially more marine omega-3 than the original. It omits GLA, but vitamin E and the stronger EPA-DHA dose make it attractive when fish oil is the priority.</p>
82 Budget

Extreme Omega 2400 mg Lemon Natural Flavor

Natrol
<p>Lower serving cost more than doubles both EPA and DHA, providing 646 mg EPA and 430 mg DHA. Vitamin E is included, while the main trade-off is losing the original borage-derived GLA.</p>
70 Budget

K Bio Krill 500 mg

Bio Nutrition
<p>Lower serving cost uses krill oil with phospholipids and astaxanthin rather than a conventional fish-and-borage blend. EPA and DHA are much lower and GLA is absent, so it suits buyers who specifically value the krill-oil format.</p>
80 Value

Ultra Omegas DHA/EPA

Country Life
<p>Lower serving cost provides 500 mg DHA and 200 mg EPA with vitamin E. EPA is slightly lower and GLA is absent, but the strong DHA amount improves value when DHA is the main priority.</p>
79 Value

RxOmega-3

Natural Factors WS WomenSense
<p>Lower serving cost raises EPA to 400 mg, keeps DHA at 200 mg, and adds 50 mg GLA plus 260 mg ALA. The blend is the closest value alternative because it preserves GLA while broadening plant and marine fatty-acid coverage.</p>
70 Value

Cod Liver Oil Liquid

Kirkman
<p>A much lower serving cost provides 150 mg each of EPA and DHA plus vitamins A, D, and E. The omega-3 dose is lower and GLA is absent, while the vitamin A content warrants attention when combining it with other supplements.</p>
