What is the ratio of Omega 6:3? Is it close to 4:1? Thanks
650375
the only information I've ever been able to garner on the ratio is from the label, where is just states that there are more 6 than 3. this could be as low as 2:1 by that statement, so I don't know for sure. I did want to attempt to answer this question as best I could, or maybe more accurately couldn't, because I really do believe this product works and makes a difference in my day to day life. sorry I couldn't be more specific to your question, but did want to share my positive experience with this product. thanks.

Good question, Patricia. The label states that each 1000 mg gel cap contains 300 mg of omega-3. However, this is not broken down. There is no indication on the label what portion is EPA, what portion is DHA, or what portion is "other," the three main components of omega-3. The manufacturer has confirmed to me that roughly 150 mgs is EPA, 80 mgs is DHA, and 70 mgs is "other." See my review on this thread.

In one tablespoon: Crude protein 20.0% min, Crude fat 28.0% min, Crude fiber 15.0% max, Moisture 10.0% max, Linoleic acid (omega 6) 450 mg (5.6%), Linolenic acid* (omega 3) 1,000 mg (12.5%), Glucosamine* (min.) 400 mg (5.0%).

If it is present, I can't imagine it would be in a substantial enough amount to create a conflict with the Omega 3 or cause any other potential side effects of "excess" Omega 6. If it is something you are seriously concerned about, though, you should continue your search for a product with more distinct labeling.

I went to the Now Foods website http://www.nowfoods.com/Super-Omega-3-6-9-1200mg-180-Softgels.htm, and the back label says (EPA: 126 mg, DHA: 78 mg). Hope that helps!

Great question! As Nordic Naturals is slowing changing the labels on their products, they are indicating the total amount of Omega-3's per serving in the product. As you can see on the bottom of the image of the product, each softgel is still 1,000 mg, which is the amount of fish oil per softgel. The 690 mg above that refers to the total amount of Omega-3s per SERVING (of 2 softgels), since this is more concentrated than many other brands. We hope this helps.

Yes, 727 mg EPA and 498 mg DHA per teaspoon according to the label. My dogs have been on this supplement for 6 months now and it is the best, Ive already purchased 2 more bottles so I have a good supply. I like that this oil is from wild fish (I would never use anything with farmed fish) and its so easy to use. Just 3 squirts from the pump bottle on top of their food- they love it and I dont have to worry about pouring and measuring. Its very economical and works great. I hope this helps.

It has been tested by IFOS, the most reputable independent third party lab for omega-3 fish oil in the U.S.A. See my review for a further explanation. RWM

We are happy to help! This product does contain omega 3 fatty acids. The omega 3 content consists of 1,500 mg of Algal Oil per serving (2 softgels), which provides 180 mg EPA and 360 mg DHA. Thank you for your question and we hope this helps!

Doesn't say. On the bottle, there is a chart titled Guaranteed Analysis. It says crude fat - 99% (min.), moisture - 1% (max.), DHA -5% (min.), EPA - 5% (min). Has note that the EPA and DHA are not recognized as an essential nutrient by the AAFCO Dog Nutrient Profile.
