Each softgel delivers 1,000mg of fish oil, but the numbers that matter are **EPA** (180mg) and **DHA** (120mg) — just 300mg of combined active omega-3s per capsule. Following the label's 2–3 softgels daily puts you at 600–900mg EPA+DHA, which falls short of the 1,000–2,000mg range used in most clinical research on heart and brain health.

The fish oil is described as ultra-pure cold-water concentrate, but there's no mention of the molecular form — triglyceride vs. ethyl ester — which significantly affects how well your body absorbs it. Without that detail, you can't be sure you're getting optimal uptake from what's already a modest EPA+DHA dose.

To reach a clinically meaningful dose, you'd need 4–5 softgels daily, which cuts through the 180-count bottle faster than the label suggests. If heart or brain support is your primary goal, look for a product with higher EPA+DHA concentration per softgel so you can hit the studied range without the extra pill burden.
