Label Accuracy
Omega-3 fatty acid content was measured at 1073.7mg/serving, 19.3% above its 900mg label claim.
EPA, at 613.1mg/serving, exceeded its 552mg label claim by 11.1%. Similarly, DHA (331.7mg/serving) exceeded its 288mg label claim by 15.2%.
Product Purity
Mercury content measured at less than 9 PPB (parts per billion). The Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3 (GOED) mercury limit is 100 PPB.
Peroxide value recorded at 3.0 meq/kg, and p-anisidine value recorded at 2.9.
Note: Our freshness scores are based entirely on peroxide values, measures of primary oxidation in fatty acids. Flavoring agents have been shown to skew p-anisidine values (measures of secondary oxidation). LabDoor is currently researching alternative p-anisidine assays that have the capability to account for and eliminate the effects of flavoring.
Nutritional Value
One serving of this product provides 1073.7mg total omega-3 fatty acids. 1.1g - 1.6g is the daily Adequate Intake (AI) range set by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) for individuals over the age of 14. Of the total omega-3 content, EPA accounts for 613.1mg and DHA accounts for 331.7mg. There is currently no established daily recommended intake for EPA and DHA, although the World Health Organization's (WHO) has proposed a recommendation of 0.3g - 0.5g EPA + DHA/day with 0.8g - 1.1g ALA/day (which is partially converted to EPA and DHA).
This product consists of 75.5% EPA + DHA.
Ingredient Safety
No flagged inactive ingredients were recorded in this product.
Projected Efficacy
Omega-3 fatty acids constitute 85.9% of this product's total fish oil content.
1073.7mg of total omega-3 fatty acids, consisting of 613.1mg EPA and 331.7mg DHA, is expected to be highly effective based on an estimated 1g recommended daily intake.
Omega-3 fatty acids are clinically shown to improve cardiovascular conditions such as coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia and hypertension, and, according to limited evidence, enhance cognition, reduce anxiety, improve athletic performance and decrease risk of certain cancers. Clinical research supporting the latter effects is promising, but not conclusive; additional research is required before any conclusions can be drawn.
