    What to know

    With fish oil, the number that matters is the EPA and DHA per softgel, not the 1,000 mg of oil. Plant oils supply a different omega-3 called ALA, which the body converts to EPA and DHA only in small amounts. Softgel shells are usually gelatin, so check the label if you are vegetarian.

    Who should check first

    • Blood thinners or surgery coming up: check with your doctor before taking fish oil at higher doses.
    • Fish or soy allergy: avoid fish oil or soy lecithin as relevant.
    • Pregnant or breastfeeding: check with your doctor first.
