This is indeed a shortcoming of this label compared to most other omega-3 products, which list EPA and DHA separately. Mivolis Omega-3 1.000 only states the combined content of '300 mg omega-3 fatty acids' per capsule, without a breakdown. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) have somewhat different physiological roles - DHA, for example, is a structural component of the brain and retina, while EPA is more associated with anti-inflammatory action (ISSN Position Stand, 2025). Without a breakdown, we cannot reliably assess how close the product comes to the generally recommended clinical range of 250-1000 mg EPA+DHA per day. If this information matters to you, we recommend a product with both values explicitly stated on the label.

Not necessarily - '1.000' is part of the product's name or line, while the actual stated content of the active ingredient per capsule is 300 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, obtained from fish oil concentrate (70.5% concentrate). We recommend not relying on the number in the product name when choosing a product, but always checking the actual stated content of the active ingredient in the nutrition panel on the back of the packaging. When comparing with other products in this category, we advise comparing mg of EPA and DHA per recommended daily dose, not just the total weight of the capsule or the product name, as these can vary considerably between manufacturers.

Yes, beef gelatin is a commonly used ingredient for the shell (capsule) in dietary supplements and is regulated in the EU the same as other food ingredients - it is not inherently a safety concern for the general population. However, the active ingredient inside the capsule (omega-3 fatty acids) is derived from marine fish oil, so the product contains the 'fish' allergen, which is clearly stated on the label. If you have a fish allergy, avoid this product. If you avoid beef products for religious, ethical, or dietary reasons, this product is not suitable due to the beef gelatin in the capsule.

The usage instructions allow for 1-2 capsules per day, which for this product would mean up to approximately 600 mg of 'omega-3 fatty acids' daily - this is already closer to the middle of the generally recommended range of 250-1000 mg EPA+DHA for basic cardiovascular benefit (International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2025). However, since the label does not break down EPA and DHA separately, the exact clinically relevant dose cannot be confirmed. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount, and when deciding on a higher dose, it also makes sense to consider your total omega-3 intake from other sources (e.g., oily fish in your diet) and to consult a pharmacist or doctor with any questions.
