Omega-3 quality varies wildly. The two numbers that matter are EPA and DHA — not total fish oil. Look for a product that lists the combined EPA+DHA per serving clearly.
Freshness is everything. Oxidized fish oil does more harm than good. Choose IFOS-certified brands and store away from heat.
Plant-based? Algae oil delivers direct EPA and DHA without the fish, and is a perfectly viable alternative for vegans.
