The label says 1,000 mg fish oil per softgel, but what matters for your health is the **EPA and DHA** content — and at 500mg combined across two softgels, you're getting only half the 1,000mg minimum used in most clinical research for heart and brain benefits. The remaining 1,400mg of the 2,000mg total fish oil is non-active fats that don't contribute to omega-3 benefits.

Total **omega-3s** come to 600mg per serving (including 100mg of other omega-3 forms beyond EPA/DHA). To reach the clinically studied range of 1,000–3,000mg omega-3s, you'd need to take three to four servings daily — which means going through the bottle far faster than the label suggests.

The biggest gap here is concentration. At roughly 30% omega-3 per softgel, this is a low-potency formula — you're swallowing a lot of oil for a modest amount of the active fatty acids your body actually uses.
