Whilst I am here ok I recently purchased a new fish oil supplement:
and the nutrition info is that out of the 500mg capsule: EPA 240 and DHA is 160mg. My old one (cheaper) was 1000mg with 165 mg EPA and 110DHA.

Obviously the recently purchased one seems much better doesn't it? I still however wonder: what is the rest made of? for example the recently purchase omg3 supplement has 38% omega 3, but what is the rest then; bearing in mind that the ratio of equilibrium mentioned seems to be much higher than that.

Whilst I am at it what fish oil sup would you recommend and how many per day should you take if you have a reasonably healthy diet? Many thanks
