A member asked:
What is the difference between "omega-3 fish oil" and " omega-3 salmon oil" supplements? which one is the best?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The same: Both are making the same claim but different formulations will supply more of the actual active ingredient, so you must read the label carefully. Better yet, eat fish! Mackerel is the best. Salmon is also good.
