They claim 50% better absorption than fish oil, and they claim EPA is basically the only one that matters.
Each pill has 250mg of EPA, and a bottle contains 30 pills for $30.40.
That's 250mg*30pills=7500mg/$30.40= 246.7mg/$
Let's assume the 50% better absorption is real and credit them with 50% more EPA. Now it's:
7500mg*1.5absorption/$30.40= 370.1mg/$
Compare that with Nature's Bounty online from Costco. 130 pills with 647mg EPA for $23.99 gives:
647mg*130pills=84110mg/$23.99= 3506mg/$
So buying that product would cost almost 10 times as much to get the same amount of EPA absorbed versus buying Nature's Bounty fish oil online from Costco. And that's not even the cheapest you can get fish oil for.
Seems like buying that algae oil is a terrible choice.
