Analysis

Fish oil is relevant to cardiovascular and inflammatory balance, but total oil weight is not the same as active omega-3 content. The 1413 mg serving cannot be matched to an effective EPA or DHA intake because neither fatty acid is quantified.

One softgel supplies the listed serving, which keeps daily use simple. Molecular form, fish species, purification, and independent quality verification are not supplied.

Added vitamin D3 broadens the formula slightly but does not resolve the missing omega-3 potency. A better-disclosed option would be easier to dose for either stated goal.

Who is it for
  • Adults comfortable with fish-derived omega-3 oil
  • People who prefer premeasured softgels
  • Users who can verify active EPA and DHA elsewhere on the label
Best for
  • General fish-oil supplementation
  • Cardiovascular-focused omega-3 use when active amounts are verified
  • Inflammatory-balance support when EPA and DHA amounts are confirmed

Pros

  • Lists 1413 mg of total fish oil
  • One softgel supplies the listed serving, which keeps daily use simple
  • Ingredient choice aligns with cardiovascular support
  • Fish oil is relevant to inflammatory balance

Cons

  • EPA and DHA amounts are not disclosed
  • Active omega-3 concentration cannot be calculated
  • Molecular form and purification details are absent
  • No independent testing or antioxidant details are supplied

Warnings

  • Avoid use if you have a fish allergy.
  • Omega-3 oils can add to bleeding risk with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines; review combined use with a clinician.
  • Do not assume the total oil amount equals an effective EPA or DHA dose.

Nutrient quality

54 Moderate impact

Fish-oil concentrate lacks molecular form, species, and active fatty-acid yields, while vitamin D3 is clearly identified. The total oil amount is disclosed, but EPA and DHA yields are missing, so effective dose cannot be verified, while missing EPA and DHA yields prevent confirmation of potency.

Ingredient transparency

56 Moderate impact

The total fish-oil amount is shown, but EPA and DHA yields are not disclosed. Molecular form, fish species, testing, complete directions, and inactive ingredients remain unavailable.

Customer satisfaction

64 Moderate impact

The aggregate rating is favorable, but the modest review count limits confidence. No detailed feedback is supplied, so repeated complaints and purpose fit cannot be judged.

Value for money

38 Lower impact

Vitamin D3 adds some measurable value to the fish-oil base. Missing EPA and DHA amounts keep the primary ingredient’s value uncertain.

Vitamin D · 25 mcgFish Oil · 1413 mg

Fish oil is strongly aligned with inflammation through EPA- and DHA-derived lipid mediators. Human evidence for adequate EPA and DHA intake is well established, especially for triglyceride and selected inflammatory outcomes.

Total oil is disclosed, but missing EPA and DHA amounts prevent confirmation of an effective active dose. Strong ingredient-level evidence is undermined by insufficient label disclosure to verify potency or quality.

F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityF Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The fish oil amount is shown, but EPA and DHA are not listed separately, so active dose and concentration cannot be verified. Molecular form, purification, fish species, and independent testing are not stated. No antioxidant stabilizer is listed, and missing active amounts prevent a value calculation.
