1 serving = 2 capsulesDirections: 1 serving a dayLabel as of 9 Oct 2026 · Brand's product page

Verdict

2.07 g a dayas the label directs · studies use 1000–6000 mg/day of EPA + DHA

Effective dose

Taken as the label directs (1 serving a day, 2.07 g each), it gives 2.07 g a day; studies use 1000–6000 mg/day.

One capsule gives 1.03 g, enough on its own for the low end of what studies use (1 g); it ranks 1st of 21 omega-3 supplements here by dose.

1 capsule a day reaches 1 g.

Wondering about your omega-3 index? What it takes to raise it, and why EPA and DHA count.
