> I noticed that my omega 3 fish oil capsules are labled l000mg, and actually only contain about l50mg of it. Have you had the same thing? Bought 2 different kinds, and when read the label on back, they're both the same. Fondly, Phillipa
"Standard" fish oil usually contains 180 mg EPA and 120 mg DHA per 1000 mg, i.e. a total of 300 mg long-chain omega-3s per 1000 mg capsule. Some brands have higher concentrations, achieved at a greater expense per capsule.
