You want more EPA so you can have therapeutic effect. Go here and read more about it. http://igennus.com/nutrition/omega-3-science/epa-vs-dha/

It depends on what you want to achieve with them. DHA improves brain function and EPA reduces inflammation. It is good to have a balance, but again it depends on what you are taking omegas for.

Carlson's Norwegian Cod Liver Oil contains 1,100 mg Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Of this, 500 mg. is DHA and 400 mg. is EPA. Many sources recommend 1 gram (1,000 mg) of EPA/DHA for maintenance, and this comes very close to what is contained in the 1 tsp. recommended dose. The air inside the bottle is replaced with nitrogen to keep it from becoming rancid before opening. They also add "a natural source" of Vitamin E to retard spoilage. Even though directions say to refrigerate after opening, I personally refrigerate it at all times. If you have a specific condition for which you want to take more than one gram of EPA/DHA, this this brand of Cod Liver Oil (which has 850 IU of Vitamin A) will not cause you to get too much Vitamin A. It contains 17% of the daily requirement in 1 tsp. I believe this is true of their fish oil as well. It is regularly tested for purity and freedom from detrimental levels of mercury, cadmium, lead, PCB's and 28 other contaminants by an independent FDA registered laboratory.

450 mg DHA in one serving (two capsules). I feel this is a high quality product.

EPA is 800 and DHA is 600 I take 2 per day. This is a larger dose than anything else I have seen, It has 2000 of fish oil. My doctor recommended 4000 mg of fish oil.

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!

The carlson fish oil has a higher concentration of EPA and DHA vs the cod liver oil

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.

DHA are found in the brain and increase 300 to 500 percent in an infant's brain during the last trimester of pregnancy. Adding DHA to a pregnant mother's diet may be beneficial for the fetus's brain development. Elderly people should also take EPA DHA, because as we get older, our bodies form less EPA and DHA, which may cause less mental focus and cognitive function. Taking EPA DHA also may help with mental abnormalities, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

Yeah pretty much the same thing. The only different is, if you like the two combine as taste rather than one alone, plus it can help you save money for combing into one healthy mix of good fats rather than buying them separately. But that's just my IMO. Hope it was helpful.

I'm not sure I understand your question.... DHA is basically fish oil. So one ml would be one ml of DHA.

Hi Caspurr. Its me again. I just thought I let you know that I was referring to the Carlson Labs Elite Omega-3 Gems (700 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule), and not the Carlson Super Omega-3 Gems (500 mg of EPA & DHA per softgel capsule). Sorry about the ambiguity on the last response. The Elite Gems are about $3 more expensive for only 120 softgels, 10 softgels less that the Carlson Super Omega-3 fish oil.

It is a pharmaceutical grade drug sold BY PRESCRIPTION... its research is important to know because it discusses ALL avenues of medical benefits... vascular, heart, diabetes, anti-inflammatory!
