Fish Oil Softgel Composition: EPA, DHA, Concentration and Shell
High potency should be translated into a specific reporting basis rather than used as a substitute for composition.
Separate oil weight, fatty-acid amounts and serving count
| Decision | Information to request | How to use the answer |
|---|---|---|
| Oil basis | Total fill mass and supplied material identity | State whether a figure describes oil or a named fatty acid. |
| EPA and DHA | Amounts on the same unit or serving basis | Reconcile each value to the supplied specification and assay. |
| Serving | Units per stated serving and proposed unit size | Do not compare single-unit and multi-unit figures as equal. |
| Shell and additions | Shell material and all supporting components | Include any changes in the composition and label review. |
| Pack | Final protection system and storage proposal | Request evidence for this formula and pack. |
Write the fatty-acid calculation in separate fields
Illustrative purchasing exercise, not a customer case, test result or quotation.
Total oil mass and the EPA/DHA contribution are different fields. Use the actual concentration basis supplied for the oil and connect it to the reviewed fill amount; do not substitute a product name such as “high potency” for the calculation.
- Input: Defined oil mass per capsule and its specified composition basis.
- Calculation: Calculate each named component on that same basis, then apply units per serving.
- Check: Reconcile rounding, label expression and the supporting finished-product records.
Decision output: This worksheet supplies no concentration or target dose. Its purpose is to distinguish an oil-mass statement from a component-content statement before comparing proposals.
NIH ODS describes variation in omega-3 supplement forms and content. A composition comparison should therefore retain the named material and reporting convention. It does not establish absorption superiority or determine a personal intake. When a supplier proposes a more concentrated oil or a different unit size, recheck the full serving, softgel system and supporting records.
