By choosing a cheap omega-3, you may end up with a lot of DHA and little EPA, but quantitatively a lot of omega-3 for your money. If you do that, you might be buying vitamins on the side? We've done the calculations on that too, and by choosing the cheapest options here too, you can manage to buy the vitamins piece by piece for DKK 510 a month. In other words, 100 kroner more than a bottle of SanOmega Premium. The absorption of vitamins from pills and capsules is usually poorer than the absorption of liquid products. A lot will therefore never make it from the gut to the body. Therefore, if you are buying vitamins and other nutrients in bulk, we recommend that you are very careful when choosing the form of the supplement. If you are as careful about quality when buying other vitamin supplements as we at SanOmega are when selecting ingredients, it will be far more expensive than SEK 500 to match SanOmega Premium.
