Free Omega‑3 Supplement Comparison ToolEPA + DHA per serving

This free comparison tool shows the combined Omega‑3 amount (EPA + DHA) per serving. It’s a preview of the full VIOscan database.

• You see: brand, product name, serving size, and total EPA + DHA per serving.
• You don’t see here: per‑capsule view, EPA/DHA concentration, IFOS testing, flavoring status, Omega‑3 forms (triglyceride, ethyl ester, re‑esterified TG, phospholipid), and price per gram. GET FULL ACCESS to unlock these for 100+ products.
• Numbers are rounded to the nearest 5 mg in this preview.

Omega‑3 total is the combined amount of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in milligrams per serving, as declared on the supplement label. These are the two most researched omega‑3 fatty acids with established health benefits.

EPA and DHA are widely studied in relation to cardiovascular health, brain function, and inflammation. Public guidance varies across organizations and populations; this page does not provide dosage advice.

When comparing omega‑3 supplements, the total EPA+DHA content is more important than the total fish oil amount, as fish oil can contain other fatty acids that don't provide the same benefits.

Per serving view shows the EPA+DHA amount you get from the manufacturer's recommended dose (e.g., 2 softgels = 1000 mg EPA+DHA). This is how supplements are labeled and helps you understand daily intake.

Per capsule view (available with VIOscan subscription) shows the EPA+DHA concentration in each individual capsule, allowing true comparison across products with different serving sizes. For example:

• Product A: 1000 mg EPA+DHA per 2 capsules = 500 mg per capsule
• Product B: 900 mg EPA+DHA per 1 capsule = 900 mg per capsule

In this example, Product B has higher concentration despite lower total per serving; the per‑capsule view makes that difference visible.

The complete VIOscan dashboard provides comprehensive omega‑3 analytics beyond this free comparison tool:

• EPA/DHA Concentration (%): The percentage of EPA+DHA in the total oil, indicating purity and quality. Higher concentrations (60–90%) mean less filler oil.
• Omega‑3 Forms: Natural triglycerides (TG), ethyl esters (EE), re-esterified triglycerides (rTG), or phospholipids (PL). Each form has different absorption rates and bioavailability.
• IFOS Certification: Third-party testing for purity, potency, and freshness from the International Fish Oil Standards program.
• Individual EPA and DHA amounts: Separate values for targeted health goals (EPA for inflammation, DHA for brain health).
• Flavoring status: Whether products are flavored (lemon, orange) or unflavored, affecting taste and compliance.
• Price per gram EPA+DHA: Cost-effectiveness comparison across brands and products.

• Omega‑3 total equals EPA + DHA declared on the product label.
• Values are rounded to the nearest 5 mg for this preview.
• Per capsule view is available after signup.

These are the three main sources of EPA and DHA omega‑3 fatty acids:

Fish Oil: Most common and affordable source, typically from anchovies, sardines, mackerel, or salmon. Contains EPA and DHA in triglyceride or ethyl ester form. Concentration ranges from 30–90% EPA+DHA.

Krill Oil: From Antarctic krill, contains EPA and DHA in phospholipid form which may enhance absorption. Generally lower EPA+DHA concentration (15–30%) but includes astaxanthin antioxidant. More expensive per gram of EPA+DHA.

Algae Oil: Plant-based source suitable for vegetarians/vegans. Fish get their omega‑3s from algae in the food chain. Usually higher in DHA than EPA. Sustainable and free from ocean contaminants but typically more expensive.

All three sources provide bioavailable EPA and DHA, with the choice depending on dietary preferences, budget, and specific health goals.

Published research reports a wide range of intake amounts depending on the population, outcomes, and study design. This page summarizes product content only and does not provide dosage advice.

Note: EPA+DHA amounts refer to the active omega‑3s, not total fish oil. A "1000 mg fish oil" capsule can contain a smaller amount of EPA+DHA: check the label for the specific EPA and DHA values.
