I have been taking these as my DHA supplement since 2016, and have had them on my subscribe and save since then with a monthly delivery.
Back in 2019 my delivery suddenly changed from the larger dark pills to the smaller easier to swallow white pills. It had a "New & Inproved" picture on the label and the entire bottle was different. I was happy with the new design and didn't think much of it. Since then it is seemingly random which pills I would get each month with my delivery, and both bottles claim to be a new and improved design.
At first I thought "oh, they must just have some old stock still and I just got lucky last time." But it has been over a year and this is still happening. I almost never get the same type two months in a row.
I decided to post a review with comparison for everyone to see what the differences are. I will only list the parts that are not the same in each pill but have posted photos for comparison of each.
The white pills were my delivery for August 2020 expiration date 02/23.
The dark (older style) was my delivery for September 2020 expiration date 02/22.
Obvious differences are the style of the pill, design of bottle. View photos for this.
Dark pills are the older design copyright 2014. It is formulated and distributed out of Santa Cruz, CA (USA) but is manufactured in Colombia.
There are a lot more ingredients as well as extra nutritional facts.
Differences in labels:
Vitamin E (as d-alpha Tocopheryl) 30IU
Choline (as Bitartrate) 50mg
Purified deep sea fish oil 416mg
Omega 3 fatty acids-
DHA is same
However Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is only 33mg
Mixed tocopherols 20mg (this is however listed as an ingredient on the other type but without an amount)
Orange peel essential oil 15mg.
Ingredients differences: soybean oil, yellow beeswax, silica, lecithin (soy), ascorbyl palmitate. Gelatin, natural caramel color, natural orange oil, zinc oxide, carob(?)
Contains: anchovy, sardine, mackerel, and/or wild sustainable deep sea pacific ocean tuna.
White pills differences:
These are copyright 2019 (new design) and are manufactured in Sunrise, FL (USA)
These have a much more simple list.
EPA is a higher amount at 57mg.
No nutritional info besides the omega 3 fats.
Ingredients differences:
Highly refined fish oil (anchovy) -this is the ONLY fish listed for this formula. This is probably the largest differences in the formula IMO.
Soft gel shell - modified starch
This is also where the natural mixed tocopherols are listed as a preservative but with no amount.
I personally prefer the style of the white pills and find them less odorous and easier to swallow. I do wish they varied their sources a bit but it is manufactured in the USA which likely causes issues.
It drives me insane that I keep getting both types randomly. I understand there may be different amounts at different distribution hubs and it may just be old stock - but this has been going on for over a year now. "FIRST IN FIRST OUT" goes through my head every time I get a shipment. Perhaps they are still having both types manufactured at this time. Who knows. With that said, there is quite the difference between the two and If I were buying this for a specific ingredient reason I would be very upset if I received the wrong type. (For instance, the white pills do not seem to have any soy ingredients which many people have issues with.)

Rainbow Light - Prenatal Dha Smart Essentials
Omega 3’s are recognized as an important part of the diet for pregnant and nursing mothers or women who are about to become pregnant. Prenatal DHA Smart Essentials features concentrated omega-3 essential fatty acids, including 250 milligrams of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is important for brain, eye, and nerve development, plus supportive levels of choline and vitamin E.
Prenatal DHA Smart Essentials is formulated to be easy to digest with no fishy taste, burp-back or smell. This formula uses wild, sustainable, deep ocean fish that are molecularly distilled.
Orange peel essential oil adds a sweet, citrus-fresh scent to the already deodorized fish oil plus it supports digestion, making it highly palatable for all populations’ especially pregnant women.
