Assessing EPA and DHA Potency
Published on November 25, 2025
Maintaining consistent levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and total omega-3 in fish oil supplements is crucial for ensuring efficacy and safety.
Why Precise Testing Matters
- Dosing: Accurate EPA/DHA content underpins evidence-based dosing for cardiovascular, cognitive, and healthy inflammatory support.
- Label Integrity: Mislabeling is surprisingly common and many supplements contain less EPA/DHA than claimed.
- Patient Trust: Inconsistent potency can undermine provider recommendations and patient adherence.
Choosing a fish or algae oil backed by third-party testing ensures consistent EPA/DHA levels and reinforces the credibility of your recommendations.
At Fullscript, ensuring supplement quality and safety is a top priority. As part of our ongoing commitment to the Fullscript Quality Program, we tested several omega-3 products available in our catalog to verify potency and confirm label accuracy.
