What it is Links OMEGA-3 EPA is a powerful combination of essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, the two active ingredients in Omega-3. It comes in an easy to swallow softgel and is formulated with Vitamin E to prevent oxidation of the fish oil and maintain the freshness of the softgels. Why you need it Eiscosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) are essential Omega-3 fatty acids found in cold water fish. EPA and DHA are vital nutrients that play an important role in the function of our bodies. EPA and DHA have been associated with a wide range of health benefits, including improved blood triglyceride and cholesterol levels, heart rate, blood pressure in hypertensive patients, blood vessel function, and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. They may also have a protective effect against a number of disorders including cancer, autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, age-related macular degeneration, and inflammatory conditions. EPA and DHA are not produced by the body and can only be obtained through a diet rich in fish. Dosage: Take one or two softgels with meal or as directed by the physician.
