Analysis

The formula supplies 168 mg EPA and 116 mg DHA per serving, giving a low omega-3 dose. Both key omega-3s are quantified, so the active amount is easy to assess.

The low EPA-and-DHA amount is better suited to light supplemental use than to someone seeking a concentrated omega-3 serving. Evening primrose oil adds 280 mg, though it changes the formula from a focused fish-oil supplement into a broader fatty-acid blend. The active-dose value is reasonable, though alternatives may provide more omega-3 per serving.

The label does not identify the omega-3 molecular form or provide independent purity and oxidation test results, so important quality details remain uncertain. The softgel(s) format may be convenient for routine use, but the disclosed facts do not establish freshness or contaminant control.

Who is it for
  • People seeking a light supplemental omega-3 amount
  • Users whose main priority matches the broader formula rather than a high fish-oil dose
Best for
  • Cardiovascular Support

Pros

  • EPA and DHA are listed separately at 168 mg and 116 mg per serving
  • Clearly disclosed, modest omega-3 serving
  • Includes antioxidant vitamin E

Cons

  • Omega-3 molecular form is not identified
  • Independent purity and oxidation testing is not provided
  • EPA and DHA amount is low for a concentrated fish-oil product

Warnings

  • Avoid if you have a fish allergy because the active oil is fish-derived.
  • Fish oil can cause burping or stomach upset; taking it with a meal may improve tolerance.
  • A caregiver should confirm the serving is age-appropriate and supervise use of the chewable softgels.
  • Evening primrose oil may not suit people with seizure disorders or those using medicines that lower the seizure threshold.

Nutrient quality

72 High impact

A child-sized omega-3 serving and vitamin E provide a reasonable basic fatty-acid blend. Modest potency, generic sourcing, and a less relevant evening primrose addition limit focus.

.

Ingredient transparency

81 Highest impact

Active amounts are individually disclosed, and no proprietary blend hides the supplied doses. Complete use directions, excipients, and some source or quality details remain unavailable.

.

Customer satisfaction

68 High impact

Supplied aggregate data indicate very strong satisfaction with a moderate response base. Specific comments are absent, so recurring complaints and purpose-specific experiences cannot be verified.

.

Value for money

60 Moderate impact

A practical child format and clear fatty-acid amounts provide some value. Modest potency and a less relevant oil addition limit efficiency.

Impact

B+ Goal FitC- Strength of SupportD CoverageB- Formula Quality
Fish Oil · 582 mgVitamin E · 20 mg

EPA and DHA directly support triglyceride and inflammatory pathways, giving the formula clear cardiovascular relevance. The combined amount is modest compared with doses used for strong triglyceride lowering.

The fatty acids are individually disclosed, which makes potency easy to judge. Evening primrose oil broadens the fatty-acid blend but adds less established cardiovascular value.

Report overview
D+ Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityF Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyD+ Value

The formula is modestly EPA-forward, but its absolute EPA dose remains low. EPA has moderate density and a single vitamin E source offers some oxidation protection, though the molecular form is undisclosed. Cost efficiency is middling for the EPA delivered, and no contaminant-testing claim is provided.

DHA · 116 mg OverallScore36
D+ Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityF Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

Vitamin E protects the oil, and the formula also includes evening primrose oil. DHA potency is low and omega-3 concentration is moderate, while the chemical form, fish species, and purity testing remain unclear. Cost per DHA amount is relatively high.

Fish Oil · 582 mg OverallScore31
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityD Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyD+ Value

The clearly disclosed EPA and DHA provide a low active dose just below the maintenance range. Concentration is standard, while vitamin E helps protect the oil from oxidation. Molecular form, purification, independent testing, and fish species remain undisclosed.
