Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil

Wild Alaskan salmon oil in natural triglyceride form (70% better absorbed than ethyl ester). DHA-dominant ratio favors brain health. But only 400mg EPA+DHA means 2-3 softgels daily. The TG absorption edge partly compensates for lower concentration.

6.0/10
GOOD

EPA at 180mg and DHA at 220mg gives 400mg combined EPA+DHA per softgel. This is above the 250mg minimum for cardiovascular benefit but well below therapeutic doses. EPA is at only 18% of optimal. Natural triglyceride form from wild salmon is a quality advantage. But the math doesn't work: you need 3 daily for a meaningful dose, which triples cost and pill burden.
