Marine oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA

We rank Fish Oil by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Fish oil is a type of marine oil that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These are essential fats, meaning the body cannot make them on its own, and they specifically include two important types called EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).

Why it's used

It is primarily used to provide the body with the EPA and DHA mentioned above. These specific fats are used to support overall health, particularly for the heart and brain.

How it's made

The oil is extracted from the fatty tissues of oily fish. This oil is then purified to remove unwanted substances and concentrated to increase the levels of omega-3s before being put into softgel capsules or liquid bottles.

What it typically costs

Fish oil is generally mid-range in price. This is because the cost of sourcing high-quality fish and the industrial purification process required to remove contaminants makes it more expensive than basic plant oils, but high global supply keeps it from being a luxury ingredient.
