This is the best capsule form fish oil I've come across that is reasonably priced.
This is even more concentrated, but too expensive to be worth it.
Just to clarify:
Per PILL:
Now Super EPA:
360mg EPA
240mg DHA
Pills needed to hit 3000mg DHA:
12.5 per day
Normal Fish Oil (anything you'd find at Costco or whatever)
180mg EPA
120mg DHA
Pills needed to hit 3000mg DHA:
25 per day
Also liquid:
Ascenta NutraSea Original LIQUID
(per TEASPOON)
750mg EPA
500mg DHA
Needed to hit 3000mg DHA:
6 teaspoons per day
So would you rather take 25 pills per day, or 2 tablespoons?
THen you can break it down by price.
Using bb.com
Ascenta: $33 per bottle, 100 spoons, 6 spoons per day = $1.98 per day
NOW Super EPA: $21 per bottle, 240 pills, 12 pills per day = $1.05 per day
Cheap Supplements Fish Oil: $7 per bottle, 180 pills, 25 pills per day = $0.97
So it's up to you if you want to pay $0.08 per day to be able to take half the amount of pills, or spend an extra $1 per day in order to take no pills at all. That's why I take a combination of liquid and NOW Super EPA. Overall it takes about $1.50 per day, and is very convenient.
