Life Extension, Super Omega-3, EPA/DHA Fish Oil
A two-softgel label serving provides 700 mg EPA, 500 mg DHA, olive extract and sesame lignans. Nutrasource lists the finished product under IFOS, and historical lot C1701652 recorded TOTOX 7.98. The US iHerb price is $18.75 for 30 label servings, although the label’s twice-daily direction uses two servings per day.

Our Verdict
Strong IFOS and dose evidence keep it above the ethyl-ester selection, but the undisclosed chemical form is a major weakness under the fixed bioavailability criterion.
