The fish oil softgels that live next to your morning glass of water

A bottle of 320 softgels that sits on one shelf and covers 160 days at two a day. Each serving of two gives 600 mg of omega 3 fatty acids, with 500 mg of that listed as EPA and DHA, taken with water and a meal.

This is a fish oil supplement in 1000 mg softgels, sold as one bottle of 320. The directions for adults are two softgels a day, taken with water and a meal, which is how the listing arrives at a 160 day supply. For a small space, one bottle that runs for about five months means one less thing to reorder and one less thing to find room for.

The numbers are specific. Two softgels provide 600 mg of omega 3 fatty acids, and 500 mg of that is EPA and DHA. The listing says the oil is purified to remove mercury and other contaminants, and that the product is USP Verified. It is also gluten free and dairy free, with no color added and no artificial flavors. The listing says the product is meant to help support a healthy heart.

Two things the listing does not state: it gives no price per serving, and it does not say what the softgel shell is made of or what the fish source is. Those are worth checking on the bottle if they matter to you. The listing also notes that these statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration, and that the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
