39 out of 100

Fish Oil 1200 mg provides fish oil and total omega-3, but the EPA and DHA amounts are unconfirmed. That prevents a useful comparison of the active amounts for cardiovascular support.

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

Nutrient Quality23

The fish species are named, but the forms of the individual omega-3 fats are unclear. That limits a confident comparison of the oil's quality.

Ingredient Transparency31

Several quantities are missing, including confirmed EPA and DHA amounts. The fatty-acid composition is also incomplete, so total fish-oil weight does not reveal the active omega-3 amounts.

Value For Money40

Value for money remains uncertain without confirmed EPA and DHA amounts. The total fish-oil weight is not enough to judge the cost of those active fats.

Customer Satisfaction89

Customers give very favorable ratings, backed by many ratings. Those opinions do not resolve the missing active amounts or establish cardiovascular benefits.

Product Focus29

Cardiovascular usefulness is uncertain because the EPA and DHA amounts are unconfirmed. Total fish-oil and total omega-3 amounts do not establish an effective amount of either active fat.
