Hi there,I just noticed that the total size of the OmegaBrite capsules were about 1G that Carly mentioned with the same quantity of EPA that most FishOil caps have, but those are usually 2G of total oils. What I was focusing on-was that fact and that I suppose the EPA portion is what is *important*. So, the *unneeded* oils I was talking about were the non-EPA portion of the capsule, that's all. I am assuming that EPA is what you want and the other stuff is just along for the ride, but will do you no harm, except maybe more fishy burps, etc.
