doseage of EPA Omega 3's

why is the daily dosage of Mega-Red  just one capsule per day (and Trader Joe's and CVS's version) but the dosage for ResQ1250 is 4-6 capsules per day for a capsule that has a much higher concentration of EPA and DHA?

Just look that it has total Phospholipids 420, total MG per serving 300, at least 160 mg EPA 
and 90 mg DHA and 1 1/2 mg of Astaxanthin. you could have to take 2 pills to get the total 
mentioned above even if the bottle says to take 1 per day.

You need to take 4 milligrams per day of  Astaxanthin

I answered on your other post, but do want to say none of the brands you're taking are the best quality.  You want fish oil sourced from clean fish.  Buying bargain brands can be problematic with supplements.
