A PRACTICAL STARTING POINT

The details are
on the label.

Compare EPA and DHA using the same serving basis, not just the total amount of oil on the front of the package. A serving might mean several softgels or a measured volume of liquid.

Amounts not verified here are unknown, not zero. Check the current label for the exact version, other ingredients and allergens, and ask a clinician about your individual needs.
