Continue using Shed-X or try a different fish oil supplement (for shedding)?

I had planned on discontinuing use of the Shed-X but around the six week mark started seeing results, wondering if I should continue with it or try a different product since Shed-X seems a little...cheap. From my research I've learned the following:

Fish oil supplements should contain naturally sourced vitamin E because when your dog ingests more PUFAs (such as omega-3), they are at risk of a vitamin E deficiency. Study can be found here.

My dog supposedly gets 8 IU of vitamin E per meal from his kibble (a combo of this and this) however a redditor pointed out that it degrades quickly fast and I'm thinking probably isn't being absorbed properly regardless since it's synthetic.

This is the product I'm considering replacing the Shed-X with. I chose it because it was the only one I could find that was NASC certified and among the few that had both high concentrations of EPA/DHA and naturally sourced vitamin E.

Can I expect this product to be as effective as Shed-X in reducing shedding or is there something specific about Shed-X that makes it work?
