That distinction is central to USANA BiOmega, which identifies the amount of total omega-3 fatty acids in each serving while also listing its EPA and DHA content separately. The added detail gives consumers a more precise view of what the product delivers.

Each two-capsule serving contains 1,200 milligrams of total omega-3 fatty acids. Of that amount, 580 milligrams come from EPA and 470 milligrams come from DHA, according to product information published by Ask The Scientists.

Those figures account for 1,050 milligrams of the listed omega-3 content.

This level of disclosure benefits supplement users in that total fish oil content and total omega-3 content are separate measurements. A capsule may contain a certain amount of fish oil, but only part of that oil may consist of omega-3 fatty acids. EPA and DHA totals provide another layer of information by showing how much of the serving comes from the two primary marine omega-3s.

BiOmega's ingredient profile also reflects a deliberate focus. Fish oil generally contains only small amounts of omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, and USANA does not add dietary amounts of either to the product. Omega-6 fatty acids are already common in the food supply, while the body can produce omega-9 fatty acids on its own. The formula instead centers on EPA and DHA from anchovies and sardines. The supplement uses whole-body fish oil rather than oil derived from fish livers. USANA is clear in stating that the product contains no vitamin A, and vitamin D is included as a separate ingredient.

The distinction may be useful for consumers who already receive vitamin A through food, fortified products or a daily multivitamin. It allows them to consider marine omega-3 intake without automatically adding vitamin A from a liver-oil source. For consumers, these points make the label an effective evaluation tool.

BiOmega also identifies the form of its fish oil. Following purification and concentration, the omega-3 fatty acids are converted back into triglycerides through re-esterification.

Natural fish oil contains omega-3s in triglyceride form, although it also contains impurities and lower concentrations of EPA and DHA before processing.

The final formula combines concentrated omega-3 content with a re-esterified triglyceride structure.

Other product details address routine use. Lemon oil is added to limit the fishy aftertaste commonly associated with fish oil capsules. The recommended use is two capsules daily, preferably with food. The daily serving contains 20 calories.

These points may appear secondary to the EPA and DHA totals, but they can influence whether consumers use a supplement consistently.

The BiOmega label presents several pieces of information that can be assessed together: total omega-3s, individual EPA and DHA amounts, oil source, nutrient form and serving instructions.

That level of specificity supports a more informed comparison across fish oil products. USANA BiOmega gives consumers defined quantities and formulation details, helping place the numbers on the label within a broader product profile.
