Default Question about Fish Oil

Hi. Dennis here. Here's a question for you fish oil experts. I started taking Fish oil a few months ago. I bought some Barleans Ultra EPA -DHA but am running low. The Barleans has 783mg EPA per serving (2 caps) and 400 DHA and 196 other Omega 3s.

Anyway I usually buy from Swanson's online as it is cheaper than most but Barleans is kind of pricey on their site.

Does anyone know if this is just becaue it's a well known brand or is it somehow better than other brands?

If the EPA and DHA are the same would any brand be ok?

Thanks

Age old question, do you really get what you pay for? I think only a lab could really give you an accurate answer: https://www.consumerlab.com/ Any other than that is just subjective, confounded by placebo effect, and a billion other variables.
