The first is the weight of the oil in the capsule. The second is how much of that oil is EPA and DHA — the part the research is about. A typical 1,000 mg fish oil softgel carries somewhere around 300 mg of omega-3 and prints the 1,000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis softgel is 1.2 g of oil carrying 720 mg of omega-3, so roughly 60% concentration. If you are comparing bottles, compare the EPA and DHA figures, not the capsule weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEPA and DHA are the forms with the human evidence behind them. ALA — the omega-3 in flax, chia and walnuts — converts into EPA and DHA very poorly in people, so a plant omega-3 is not a swap for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural lemon flavour is there to cut the fishy repeat.
