It looks okay to me. If you want that much EFA (over a 1000mg of EPA/DHA a day, that is your choice).

Barlean's is a company that makes quality products, so there is little to worry about there.

Don't expect much ALA in this product, and if you are concerned with the RATIO of the ALA to LA, taking too much of this will alter that. You can compensate by not eating foods high in LA (omega-6.) You can increase ALA by eating Smart Balance peanut butter, or using flax oil to make your own salad dressings.
Switch to real butter instead of spreads. Things like that.

There are products with higher DHA to EPA ratios like this one:

This is the one I gave my son that improved his ADHD so much.
Previous initial gains were using the standard regular fish oils out there. He jumped forward in high school using this Carlson's DHA.

We use the the SAMs club fish oil-- triple strength. (new)
one cap delivers EPA 647mg
DHA 253mg
