Eicosapentaenoic Acid (Eicosapentaenoic Acid)

EPA is one of the essential fatty acids and a precursor for the production of prostaglandins, which control blood clotting and arterial functioning.

EPA and DHA work in concert to assist with cardiovascular health, through lipid lowering effects and increasing the "good" cholesterol.

EPA is found predominantly in fish but also in breastmilk and is important, with DHA, for development of baby's brain, eyes and nervous system.

Salmon is a source of EPA.
