How do I calculate the price per 1,000 mg of omega-3?
Direct answer
Divide the pack price by the total omega-3 amount of the pack. Only then are packs with differently sized servings comparable at all.
A comparison based on pack prices is almost always misleading.

Why pack prices are not comparable
A pack with 60 servings and one with 30 servings have different prices without that implying a difference in value.
The calculation in three steps
- 1
Determine the omega-3 amount per pack
servings × omega-3 per serving
- 2
Divide the pack price by that amount
price ÷ total amount
- 3
Check that the amounts are equal
only then is the comparison valid
Price per 1,000 mg of omega-3
Price and quality are considered separately.
| Fact | Value per product |
|---|---|
| Pack price | MVS Omega-3 39.9 €NORSAN Omega-3 Pure 34.9 €Doppelherz Omega-3 Seefischöl 12.9 € |
| Price per serving | MVS Omega-3 0.67 €NORSAN Omega-3 Pure 1.45 €Doppelherz Omega-3 Seefischöl 0.32 € |
| Price per 1,000 mg omega-3 | MVS Omega-3 0.67 €NORSAN Omega-3 Pure 0.73 €Doppelherz Omega-3 Seefischöl 0.32 € |
Price is considered separately from quality. No overall winner is determined.
Example calculation
| MVS Omega-3 | €39.90 ÷ 60,000 mg = €0.67 |
|---|---|
| NORSAN Omega-3 Pure | €34.90 ÷ 48,000 mg = €0.73 |
| Doppelherz Omega-3 | €12.90 ÷ 20,000 mg = €0.32 |

What the price does not say
A low price per 1,000 mg of omega-3 says nothing about oxidation state, purity or packaging protection. Price and quality are therefore considered separately.
