Fish oil: EPA + DHA per serving on every omega-3 label we carry

The big number on a fish oil bottle (1,000 mg, 1,200 mg) is the oil; the omega-3 that matters is the EPA + DHA line in the Supplement Facts, which can be 300 mg or 2,000 mg per serving for bottles that look alike. The table lists the printed omega-3 (or EPA + DHA) per serving for every fish oil we track.

What to check on the label

  • EPA + DHA per serving (not the fish oil mg on the front)
  • Softgels per serving — 'triple strength' often means one instead of three
  • Form (triglyceride vs ethyl ester) and freshness/oxidation statements if printed

Questions people ask

How much EPA and DHA is in a 1,200 mg fish oil softgel?

Often around 360 mg of omega-3 — the rest is other fats. Concentrated products print 1,000 mg or more per serving. The number below each product is the label's.

Fish oil or krill oil?

Both supply EPA and DHA; krill usually prints smaller amounts per capsule at a higher price. Compare the EPA + DHA line, not the capsule count.
