At a glance
Most omega-3 products quote total fish oil on the front and hide the active fats on the back. Meridian prints combined EPA and DHA on the front of the pack, which makes it directly comparable. Triglyceride form, in a lemon-coated capsule to reduce reflux.
It may suit you if
- You want a high combined EPA and DHA figure
- You have had trouble with fishy aftertaste
- You want something you can compare like for like
You may prefer something else if
- You are vegan or vegetarian
- You want a low-cost basic omega-3

Every active ingredient amount is printed on the label.
- Omega-3 (EPA and DHA)
- 800mg EPA/DHA

Public health guidance in the UK suggests considering a daily supplement through autumn and winter. Vegan D3 from lichen is widely available. Typical serving across the market: 10µg – 25µg (400 – 1000 IU). Published human research: extensive.

Cost per serving is the fairest way to compare, because pack sizes vary enormously within the same category. It still does not account for how much active ingredient is in each serving — check that too.

Understanding supplement serving sizes
The front of the pack sells the ingredient. The back of the pack tells you how much of it you are getting. They are frequently different stories.
