leaderboard Score 60.0
An inexpensive, basic 1000mg fish oil with modest omega-3 content, suitable for general maintenance.
Sundown's 1000mg Fish Oil is a straightforward and highly affordable option for those looking to add a basic level of omega-3s to their diet. At only $0.08 per serving, it is one of the most budget-friendly choices available. While it provides 1000mg of fish oil, the absence of explicit EPA and DHA concentrations means consumers must assume a standard potency (typically 180mg EPA/120mg DHA). This dosage is considered a modest foundational amount and may not be sufficient for individuals seeking higher therapeutic benefits for specific health concerns like significant cardiovascular support, intense joint inflammation, or advanced brain health. It serves well as a cost-effective daily general wellness supplement.
- Very low price per serving ($0.08), making it highly accessible and budget-friendly.
- Simple, no-frills fish oil supplement.
- Does not specify EPA and DHA content, which is crucial for assessing omega-3 potency.
- The implied EPA/DHA dosage (around 300mg total) is relatively low for significant therapeutic effects across most stated goals.
- Sundown is a value brand, sometimes associated with less premium sourcing or processing.
- Individuals needing higher omega-3 concentrations for specific health goals will likely require multiple servings or a different product.
