On page 567 (column 1, lines 26–27) incorrect information about the EPA plus DHA content of Lipoplus is given.(Reference Calder1)

The information provided (0·6 g per 100 ml) was calculated based upon the EPA and DHA contents of a standard fish oil. However Lipoplus contains more concentrated marine n-3 fatty acids as reported by Driscoll et al.(Reference Driscoll, Ling and Bistrian2) Therefore the statement should read:

Each 100 ml of Lipoplus will typically contain about 1·2 g EPA plus DHA.
