Analysis
This supplement provides a blend of 582 mg of fish oil and 280 mg of Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) per serving (2 softgels). From the fish oil, it delivers a notable 168 mg of EPA and 116 mg of DHA, totaling 284 mg of omega-3s. The EPO adds Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), another essential fatty acid, to the profile, which is a key differentiator for this 'EFA Blend'.
