Why we picked this omega-3
Editorial pick from the Suvo team. Last reviewed: May 2026.
Suvo's product picks document the same thinking we want inside the app: look past front-label marketing, compare the active compounds that matter, and make conflicts of interest visible. This page explains why this omega-3 is included as an editorial pick; it is not a medical recommendation.
The product
Igennus High-Quality Omega-3 — a UK-formulated fish oil widely available across the EU. The 2-softgel daily serving provides 670 mg EPA + 330 mg DHA (1000 mg combined) in re-esterified triglyceride form, plus 1 mg astaxanthin as a natural antioxidant. We look at EPA + DHA combined because that is the number with evidence behind it, not the larger “fish oil mg” figure printed on the front of most labels.
What we looked at
- EPA + DHA dose per serving (the only number that actually matters).
- Triglyceride vs. ethyl-ester form.
- Third-party purity and oxidation testing.
- Price per gram of combined EPA + DHA (not price per softgel).
- Whether the label makes serving size, active dose, and other ingredients easy to verify.
Why it made the cut
The serving discloses a clear combined EPA + DHA amount, which makes comparison more honest than comparing total fish oil. The label also separates EPA and DHA, so users can see the actual active fatty acids rather than guessing from a generic omega-3 claim.
We also prefer products where form, serving size, and quality signals are easy to inspect before buying. If a label changes, if the product becomes unavailable, or if testing information becomes unclear, the pick should be re-reviewed.
How we compare omega-3 products
The first number we compare is the combined EPA + DHA per serving. Many fish-oil products advertise total fish oil on the front of the bottle, but that number includes other fats and does not tell you how much EPA or DHA you actually get. A useful product page or label should make the active fatty-acid amount obvious.
The second check is serving practicality. A strong dose on paper is less useful if it requires a large number of softgels, unclear serving instructions, or a label that hides the actual EPA/DHA split. We also compare cost by active amount, not by bottle price, because cheaper bottles can be more expensive per gram of EPA + DHA.
Alternatives considered
We generally avoid products where the front label emphasizes "1000 mg fish oil" but the supplement facts panel provides a much smaller EPA + DHA amount. We also deprioritize listings that do not make form, serving size, or quality controls easy to inspect before purchase.
This does not mean the pick is the only reasonable omega-3 product. It means it cleared Suvo's current checks for dose transparency, practical serving size, and label clarity. Users should still compare local availability, dietary needs, allergies, and clinician guidance.
What would make us remove it
- The label changes and no longer clearly separates EPA and DHA.
- The product becomes unavailable or repeatedly changes retailer listings.
- Quality or oxidation testing becomes unclear, unavailable, or contradicted.
- The price per gram of EPA + DHA stops being competitive against clearer alternatives.
- New safety, sourcing, or formulation information changes the risk profile.
What we still want to add
The best version of this page would include a current product image, a label screenshot, and direct links to any available batch testing or quality documents. Those are not included here yet, so this page should be treated as an editorial rationale rather than a complete product audit.
How to take it
Follow the product label unless your clinician has given different guidance. Many people take omega-3 with a meal that contains fat because EPA and DHA are fat-soluble. Suvo may also separate omega-3 timing from other supplements when a user's stack includes ingredients with competing instructions.
Who should be careful
People taking medication, preparing for surgery, pregnant or breastfeeding users, and anyone managing a diagnosed condition should ask a qualified healthcare professional before changing supplement routines. Suvo surfaces timing and interaction context, but it does not diagnose, treat, or clear a supplement for a specific person.
