Frequently asked questions
What is the EPA to DHA ratio in this formula?
The label states 500 mg of EPA and 250 mg of DHA per serving, making this an EPA-forward formula compared to fish oils that balance the two more evenly or lean toward DHA.
Is this softgel vegan or vegetarian?
No. It uses fish gelatin for the softgel shell, so it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets. Look for an algae-based or vegetarian-capsule product if that matters to you.
Is it keto-friendly?
The label lists a keto-friendly diet claim, alongside halal labeling. Always check the current packaging for the most up to date dietary claims.
