NOW Foods Ultra Omega-3 is the go-to recommendation when cost is the primary constraint. The product uses a 2:1 EPA-to-DHA ratio (500 mg EPA, 250 mg DHA per serving) as a balance commonly cited as beneficial for cardiovascular disease management. Molecular distillation removes mercury, PCBs, and other environmental contaminants, while an enteric coating eliminates the fishy burps that make many people abandon fish oil supplementation.
