58 out of 100

Super DPA Fish Oil 1000 mg offers DHA-led omega-3 support for triglyceride metabolism at a favorable cost. Fish sources are named, but the oil preparation and their proportions remain unclear.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality27

The fish species are named, helping identify the oil's origin. They do not establish its chemical preparation or comparative absorption quality.

Ingredient Transparency60

The listed amounts are disclosed, and the goal details separately identify the DHA amount. The fish-source proportions and chemical oil form remain unspecified.

Value For Money80

The declared active omega-3 contribution offers favorable value at the full serving cost. That cost comparison does not establish the oil's preparation quality.

Customer Satisfaction76

Customer ratings indicate high satisfaction. A few hundred ratings provide some breadth of feedback.

Product Focus69

The most meaningful contribution is DHA-led support for triglyceride metabolism. The smaller EPA amount and total fish-oil weight should not be read as additional active exposure.

Fish Oil · 1000 mg

EPA and DHA may help lower markers of inflammation in the blood. These omega-3 fats are the relevant components, so total fish-oil weight doesn't describe their amounts. Lower blood markers don't automatically mean you'll feel less pain or have a reliable everyday anti-inflammatory benefit.

How this product is rated for Inflammation

Ingredient fit61

EPA and DHA may help lower markers of inflammation in the blood. These omega-3 fats are the relevant components, so total fish-oil weight doesn't describe their amounts.
Goal fit
The declared ingredients relate to inflammation, with preparation and context limiting how broadly their effects apply.
Dose adequacy
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) 450 mg and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) 45 mg per label serving; these amounts don't by themselves guarantee benefit.

Pathways9

The ingredients relate most directly to fat-derived signals involved in inflammation; that connection alone doesn't guarantee symptom relief.
Depth
The ingredients relate most directly to fat-derived signals involved in inflammation; that connection alone doesn't guarantee symptom relief.
Breadth
The pathway connection doesn't imply that several distinct anti-inflammatory effects will occur in everyday use.

Evidence70

A change in inflammatory blood markers can be relevant, but it doesn't automatically translate into noticeable relief or a routine benefit for everyone.
Evidence strength
EPA and DHA may help lower markers of inflammation in the blood.
Studied preparation
Preparation descriptions are compatible with the applicable ingredient categories; they don't imply equivalent benefits for every user.

Formulation logic100

No particular ingredient conflict is identified. Preparation identity and the declared amounts still affect what you can expect.
Partner coverage
No required ingredient partner is missing for the applicable ingredients.
Conflicts
No particular ingredient conflict is identified.
Effective doses
The applicable declared amounts fall within their comparison ranges, which aren't minimum effective doses.

Fish Oil · 1000 mg

DHA is the main relevant triglyceride-related ingredient here, with 450 mg explicitly declared per softgel. EPA is present at a much smaller amount and did not qualify for the minimum comparison. The parent oil declaration does not resolve additional active amounts, and optional repeated servings are not assumed.

How this product is rated for Cardiovascular Support

Ingredient fit83

The declared actives are focused on the evaluated cardiovascular-related ingredients. The amounts provide an uneven match to the comparison range; this limits how closely the formula resembles the evaluated exposures.
Goal fit
The declared actives are focused on the evaluated cardiovascular-related ingredients.
Dose adequacy
The amounts provide an uneven match to the comparison range; this limits how closely the formula resembles the evaluated exposures.

Pathways56

Triglyceride metabolism is the strongest assigned cardiovascular role; the result does not establish the complete product's clinical effect. The recorded reach is concentrated in one cardiovascular role.
Depth
Triglyceride metabolism is the strongest assigned cardiovascular role; the result does not establish the complete product's clinical effect.
Breadth
The recorded reach is concentrated in one cardiovascular role.

Evidence83

DHA declared active leads the evidence finding, subject to its specific clinical and population limitations. The counted ingredients match the saved preparation requirements, without confirming a trial of this complete formula.
Evidence strength
DHA declared active leads the evidence finding, subject to its specific clinical and population limitations.
Studied preparation
The counted ingredients match the saved preparation requirements, without confirming a trial of this complete formula.

Formulation logic100

The evaluated ingredients have no missing required partner or configured conflict. All counted amounts pass the minimum comparison.
Partner coverage
No required partner is missing from the counted ingredients; this does not establish an additional combination benefit.
Conflicts
No configured conflict was identified among the evaluated ingredients.
Effective doses
All counted ingredients pass the minimum amount comparison; passing it does not prove a clinical cardiovascular benefit.

Source & Sustainability
The assessment recognizes a named fish source, but the species is not specified in the saved facts.

Dose, Safety & Label Transparency57

Each serving has 495 mg EPA and DHA, about 50% of the stated fish oil. The saved facts record a qualifying antioxidant.
Total Active Omega-3 Dose (EPA + DHA)
Each serving supplies 495 mg of EPA and DHA combined, a modest amount in this assessment.
Omega-3 Potency & Concentration
The 495 mg of EPA and DHA represent about 50% of the 1,000 mg fish oil per serving.
EPA & DHA Individual Disclosure
EPA and DHA are separately stated as 45 mg and 450 mg per serving, respectively.
Oxidation Protection (Stabilizers)
A qualifying antioxidant is recorded in the saved facts; its presence does not establish measured freshness.
