Marketing claims, checked

The checks, one by one

The public sources did not settle the marketing promises on this label.

Partly confirmed1

“whole body health and wellness 1,600 mg of omega-3s per”

The panel lists 1,400 mg EPA + DHA per serving (Serving Size 2 Soft Gels). One randomized dose-response trial used 300–1,800 mg/day; omega-3 studies vary widely. This is research context, not a recommendation or safety verdict.

Research behind the findings

Dose and research context

The label amount is shown beside the range used in the linked ingredient studies.

Background reading

What the research says about these amounts

Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.

The panel lists 800 mg of omega-3 (EPA + DHA) per serving. Studies we found used 300 mg–1.8 g a day, so this sits inside that range.

0studied 300 mg–1.8 g

Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
