What Is Epa Fish Oil?
EPA Fish Oil can be defined as fish oil that contains a high concentration of EPA. EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) are both Omega 3 essential Fatty Acids, both of which are beneficial in their own right. However, research has shown that EPA can be more effective, over time, when there is less DHA to compete with it. Therefore, to be considered a high EPA fish oil, we would want to see a much higher concentration of EPA than DHA. There are some fish oils claiming EPA/DHA ratios in the region of 8 to 1, but not many. Pure EPA fish oil, on the other hand, contains no DHA at all, and as such, has an EPA concentration of 93%, arguably one of the strongest and most concentrated, high-grade EPA fish oils on the market today.
