NOW Biotin 5000mcg

Cardiovascular and cognitive support using concentrated fish oil.. The 2:1 ratio of EPA to DHA is exactly what you want for general health. However, these levels are only about half of what researchers use to move the needle on heart health or mood. It is a quality product, but you will likely need two softgels to reach a therapeutic range.

7.5/10
VERY GOOD

This is actually a fish oil product (mislabeled slug). Contains 1000mg fish oil with EPA 500mg + DHA 250mg = 750mg combined omega-3. EPA at 50% of optimal, DHA at minimum effective. Enteric coating reduces fishy burps. Clean, affordable omega-3. Good for general health maintenance but not therapeutic-level dosing. Solid value from NOW Foods.
