    Go with the higher DHA. EPA is not stored in your body and DHA is in every cell.

    Try to find one that contains Vitamin E, or be sure to take vitamin E with it to protect the fatty acids.

    The one below contains 10 IU tocopherols per pill

    It's just the measurement they chose. Vitamin E in different forms will yield different results. Use the calculator at the bottom of this link to determine which E you have and convert..
