Supportive but inconclusive research shows that consumption of both i=omega 3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. (FDA approved health statement). Main advantage to me: non-fish.

DHA and EPA are part of omega 3 fatty acids. the modern industrialized diet tends to be lower in omega 3 than would be optimal. Omega 3 has a beneficial effect on cholesterol profiles, lowers triglycerides and inflammation. Food sources of omega 3 are primarily fish and fish oil, off the menu for vegans. for a vegan supplement, get both DHA and EPA. Also get the other natural food sources such was walnuts, broccoli, leafy greens, and winter squash. Always include natural and minimally processed vegan foods and don't rely on supplements. Your body needs the "total package."

DHA and EPA are part of omega 3 fatty acids. You want to get both parts. Vegans have to plan their diets carefully to get omega 3, because the traditional sources come from animal products, mainly fish and fish oil. A vegan supplement is a good idea. Also get traditional food sources of EPA; this includes walnuts and pumpkin seeds. My advice is to use about 1/4 cup of walnuts a day. Use a high quality extra virgin olive oil for your oil, but don't use it for frying; high temperatures destroy the health benefits. Also use plant sources of omega 3 such as leafy greens, broccoli, and winter squash such as butternut and acorn squash. These foods add small amount, but pack a wonder total nutrition package which is important.

I am not a doctor, researcher, or traditionalist. I did read up on your request and there is more information than this space will allow. I suggest you read @ http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/in-the-zone/201204/what-are-the-real-differences-between-epa-and-dha, there is alot of info there. Basically the body needs both of these elements. Happy health!

I found this on another website for this product because I needed to get a specific mg of DHA/EPA too.

DHA is derived from algae. Here is the link to their site with product description-http://www.devanutrition.com/vegan_dha_softgels.html

The elite has more concentrated versions of EPA and DHA. Go to their site to see exact amounts.

According to their website there isn't a qualitative difference. Both varieties have the same listed properties, including: wild caught, 1.7 g omega-3, and BPA free cans.

Per manufacturer:253mg DHA and 647mg EPA ... BUT do remember that supplements are NOT regulated and inspected by the FDA in the way medicines are, so regardless of what brand of Omega-3s, krill, or fish oil you buy you really cannot know what you are actually getting!

The ratio is: EPA 860 mg. to DHA 580 mg. It's not twice as much. There is a lot of controversy as to how much you should take and the actual ratio. It all depends on what health concern you are addressing. I would advise you contact Metagenics and see if they have another Fish Oil that has exactly what you need. They have several types and are really helpful. Good Luck!

The carlson fish oil has a higher concentration of EPA and DHA vs the cod liver oil

Yes, would have to get the formula with DHA indicated on the package. Its a bit more.

Doesn't say. On the bottle, there is a chart titled Guaranteed Analysis. It says crude fat - 99% (min.), moisture - 1% (max.), DHA -5% (min.), EPA - 5% (min). Has note that the EPA and DHA are not recognized as an essential nutrient by the AAFCO Dog Nutrient Profile.

Omega 3 - 604mg (EPA:126mg and DHA: 78mg)Omega 6 - 539 mg (GLA:160mg)Omega 9 - 225 mg

The only difference between the Gems and the Elite is the size of the softgel. The Gems are smaller at 1,000mg of fish oil per softgel. The Elite are 1,250mg per softgel. So, they are giving you the same ratios of EPA and DHA, just jamming more oil into one softgel.

650 mg EPA, 450 mg DHA, 50 mg other omega-3 acids in a teaspoon size serving (4.5 grams)

Good question, Patricia. The label states that each 1000 mg gel cap contains 300 mg of omega-3. However, this is not broken down. There is no indication on the label what portion is EPA, what portion is DHA, or what portion is "other," the three main components of omega-3. The manufacturer has confirmed to me that roughly 150 mgs is EPA, 80 mgs is DHA, and 70 mgs is "other." See my review on this thread.

The 1,000 mg indicates total content. The 690 is the good stuff (omega 3's/EPA/DHA) This is a pretty good ratio based on my limited research.

this is what it says for the maximum bottle (647 mg is EPA, 253 mg is DHA), and 80mg other Fatty Acids. I don't know what HPA is

Hi! I did buy both kinds. The one that include the DHA-RHA was sometimes low on stock, so sometimes I just bought the supplement and added it to the formula. DHA-RHA is recommend and I think some moms just buy it separate and add it in. This formula only added it to their formula a couple of years ago I believe. The supplement was sold separate. I DO recommend their DHA-RHA because it isn't from the algae like the other organic brands. Hope this helps :) and thanks for asking.
