Question 1

What is the EPA and DHA content per softgel? Also, are these molecularly distilled?

Accepted Answer

Actually this is clearly stated on the product description....  300 Epa / 200 Dha. The one on Labdoor has EPA is 680mg and the DHA is 260mg. If you are looking for the higher dosage you can find the the 600 Epa / 240 Dha, 1100 mg for $34 here http://www.amazon.com/OMEGA-FISH-OIL-1100-600/dp/B002JJCDKU but 180 softgels. Or the 60 for $9 here http://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Shoppe-Omega-Fish-softgels/dp/B007FOYA64 The label is different but the brand is the same. The price seem the same on the one on their store though... http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/p/omega-3-fish-oil-600-epa-240-dha-1200-mg-180-softgels/vs-2643 -  This one is the craziest: http://www.amazon.com/Omega-Fish-Oil-Vitamin-Shoppe/dp/B018KSXHHG that is $83.20 for 60 softgels (!!!) that has "molecularly distilled" on the label even if I think they are all produced with the same process.  Anyway it is very confusing and if you are not careful you end up buying a product for another one =/

Question 2

What's the expiration date on these?

Accepted Answer

mine was also Feb 2016. I bought it mid Feb 2015, so I got about a year before the expiration date

Question 3

where is this made?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't say.  Just says distributed by Vitamin Shoppe, Secacus, NJ.

Question 4

Why is this product that looks very similar to the omega 3 fish oil 600 epa/240 dha on labdoor has a drastically different price($84 for 60 softgels)?

Accepted Answer

Labdoor is supported by their sales.  They don't guarantee it, but I would suspect you'd receive a product like the one tested if you bought from them.  They also have a link to Amazon that will lead you to the much lower prices here.  Right now I see 20 offers on Amazon for this product in various quantities and prices.  Some have free shipping.  None are Prime.  This one has 240 softgels, each with a total of 1000 MG of Omega-3 Fish Oil.  It does not give an EPA/DHA breakdown and does not have a magnified view of the label.HOWEVER, if you read Amazon's Disclaimer at the end of the page, you will see there is no guarantee of ingredients (etc), not matter what is on the Webpage here.  It's put down your money and take your chances.  I'd say if you are concerned that you get the best quality that you call The Vitamin Shoppe and get their assurance that you are getting the same product that Labdoor tested.  Or buy from Labdoor.
