What should you look for?

EPA and DHA per capsule. That figure is on the label and differs hugely from product to product.
Work it out per day. How many capsules do you need for 500 to 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA? Multiply that by the price per capsule.
Skip omega 3-6-9. It has little EPA and DHA; you already get omega-6 and -9 from a normal diet.

How much EPA and DHA a day?

Around 500 mg of EPA and DHA a day is enough for general use; from 1,000 mg it is a high dose. Above 2,000 mg a day it adds nothing extra. The label tells you how many capsules that is.

Which omega-3 is the best?

The one that gives you plenty of EPA and DHA per daily dose, with publicly tested quality. Compare the label: the EPA and DHA per capsule decide how many you need a day. Our comparison: the best omega-3 by SupplementScore.

Is algae oil as good as fish oil?

Yes. The EPA and DHA in algae oil are the same fatty acids as those in fish oil. It is often a little dearer per capsule and the logical choice for vegetarians and vegans.

Is omega 3-6-9 worth it?

Rarely. You already get plenty of omega-6 and -9 from a normal diet; with a 3-6-9 you mostly pay for filler and get little EPA and DHA. That is why it is not in this list.

Full explanation

The list below is live and sorted by price per capsule (capsule or softgel), with discounts already included. A cheap capsule only tells you something once you know how much EPA and DHA is in it: that differs hugely from product to product. So also work it out per day: how many capsules do you need for 500 to 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA? Algae oil counts too, because the EPA and DHA from algae are the same fatty acids as those from fish.

Fish oil, algae oil or omega 3-6-9: what are you paying for?

Type	What you need to know	Who it is for
Fish oil	Usually the highest dose per capsule and for your money. Look at the EPA and DHA per capsule, not at the total amount of oil.	The standard choice.
Algae oil	The same EPA and DHA fatty acids as fish oil, often a little dearer per capsule.	Vegetarians and vegans.
Omega 3-6-9	Little EPA and DHA per capsule; you already get omega-6 and -9 from a normal diet.	Best skipped: you mostly pay for filler.
