Fish oil is sold at wildly different strengths, and the number on the front of the bottle is what actually matters. This one is 2000mg per serving. A lot of supermarket omega 3 sits at 500mg or 1000mg, which means two to four capsules to reach the same figure.
What makes this one different
Strength per serving, and what that does to the cost of a month. At 2000mg you take fewer softgels, so a 60-count bottle lasts longer than a 60-count bottle at half the strength. Compare the milligrams rather than the bottle price when you shop for fish oil — the two often point in opposite directions.
Who tends to buy it
People already taking omega 3 who have worked out that their current one is weak, and people who dislike swallowing several capsules at once. Also anyone whose diet is light on oily fish — most South African households eat far less sardine, pilchard and mackerel than they used to.
How to take it
One softgel daily with a meal. Taking it with food that contains some fat helps, and it also cuts down the fishy aftertaste people sometimes mention. Keeping the bottle in the fridge helps with that too.
