Product analysis

63 out of 100

Max DHA offers economical DHA with a possible role in supporting triglyceride control. Incomplete ingredient and form details make close quality comparisons harder.

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

Nutrient Quality21

DHA’s chemical form is unspecified, limiting a direct quality comparison. The other declared components do not establish a broader quality advantage.

Ingredient Transparency55

The DHA amount and composition are stated, helping with direct comparisons. Another omega-3 component lacks an amount and full composition detail, so the entries should not be treated as separate extra doses.

Value For Money100

DHA is inexpensive by the gram. That supports favorable value when DHA is the nutrient you want to add.

Customer Satisfaction87

Customer feedback is very positive across many ratings. The broad feedback describes satisfaction without establishing a cardiovascular outcome.

Product Focus83

The formula has a focused cardiovascular purpose through DHA’s link to triglycerides. The serving is smaller than the larger daily exposure described, so a comparable response should not be assumed.

A- Ingredient FitC PathwaysB+ EvidenceA+ Formulation Logic
Fish Oil · 968 mg

DHA has a link to triglyceride lowering from a study of highly purified fatty-acid preparations in healthy middle-aged men. This serving receives full amount recognition in the saved findings, although its 600 mg exposure differs from the larger daily DHA amount in that trial. The unresolved parent fish-oil amount is not an additional active dose, and this marker evidence does not establish event prevention.

How this product is rated for Cardiovascular Support

Ingredient fit90

DHA declared active is the main recognized ingredient; its disclosed serving receives full amount recognition.
Goal fit
The recognized ingredients dominate the formula, with links to other goals reducing its cardiovascular specificity.
Dose adequacy
The disclosed serving receives full amount recognition, which does not establish greater benefit or a personal dose requirement.

Pathways60

The strongest assigned contribution concerns triglyceride metabolism. Other cardiovascular mechanisms have less or no assigned coverage.
Depth
The strongest assigned support concerns triglyceride metabolism, rather than comprehensive cardiovascular protection.
Breadth
Only triglyceride metabolism reaches the coverage threshold.

Evidence83

DHA declared active leads the evidence findings. The supplied population and preparation limits remain relevant to expectations.
Evidence strength
DHA declared active provides the leading evidence contribution; its marker findings do not establish prevention of cardiovascular events.
Studied preparation
The counted preparations are recognized as studied, with the population and exposure distinctions described for the relevant ingredients.

Formulation logic100

The counted ingredients have no unmet partner requirement or identified configured conflict; amount thresholds are considered separately.
Partner coverage
No unmet partner requirement is identified for the counted ingredients; combining them does not establish an added benefit.
Conflicts
No configured ingredient conflict was identified.
Effective doses
All counted ingredients clear the minimum amount threshold, which is distinct from a proven effective dose.

DHA · 600 mg OverallScore66
D- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyA+ Value
Each two-softgel serving supplies 600 mg of DHA from fish or marine oil. The whole-product price works out to about $0.48 per gram of DHA, though the DHA chemical form is not established in the saved facts.
How this ingredient is rated

Active Ingredient Quality & Bioavailability42

DHA’s chemical form is not established, and an antioxidant is recorded. The available facts do not establish the oil’s omega-3 concentration.
DHA Chemical Form & Bioavailability
The saved facts do not establish the DHA chemical form; DHA alone does not identify its structure.
Oxidation Protection & Stability
A qualifying antioxidant is recorded, but that does not establish a measured oxidation result.
Oil Concentration & Purity
The available facts do not establish a comparable omega-3 amount and oil amount, so the oil concentration is unknown.

Dose, Safety & Label Transparency74

A serving supplies 600 mg of DHA from fish or marine oil. A distillation or purity-testing claim is recorded, without test results.
DHA Absolute Dosage
A serving provides 600 mg of DHA.
Purity & Heavy Metal Verification
A distillation or purity-testing claim is recorded, but its details and test results are not in the saved facts.
Ingredient Source Transparency
Fish or marine oil is recorded as a source; the saved facts do not identify the species.

Value100

The estimated DHA cost uses the price of the entire product and its recorded DHA amount.
Price per Gram of DHA
The whole-product price corresponds to about $0.48 per gram of DHA at the recorded 600 mg per serving.
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityF Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyB+ Value
The serving provides 600 mg of DHA, while its EPA amount is unknown. The 968 mg fish-oil amount is separate from the amount of EPA and DHA.

The molecular form is not established in the saved facts. The saved evaluation records a specific purification-method claim, but does not name the method.
Omega-3 Molecular Form
The molecular form is not established in the saved facts.
Purification & Filtration Method
The saved evaluation records a specific purification-method claim, but does not name the method.
Third-Party Purity & Potency Verification
The saved facts do not establish an independent testing claim.

The supplied facts do not identify a fish species.

Dose, Safety & Label Transparency34

The serving has 600 mg of DHA; the EPA amount is unknown, so the total and concentration remain uncertain.
Total Active Omega-3 Dose (EPA + DHA)
The serving provides 600 mg of DHA, so combined EPA plus DHA is at least that much; the EPA amount is unknown.
Omega-3 Potency & Concentration
The proportion of fish oil that is EPA plus DHA cannot be determined because their combined amount is unknown.
EPA & DHA Individual Disclosure
The saved facts give 600 mg of DHA per serving; the amount of EPA is not established.
Oxidation Protection (Stabilizers)
An antioxidant ingredient is recorded in the saved facts, without its identity being supplied.

Value80

The whole-product price gives an estimate of up to about $0.48 per gram of EPA plus DHA based on a minimum amount; the same quantity could cost less.
Cost Per Gram of Active EPA + DHA
The whole-product price gives an estimate of up to about $0.48 per gram of EPA plus DHA based on a minimum amount; the same quantity could cost less.
