Eicosapentaenoic Acid

A 20-carbon omega-3 fatty acid with five double bonds, abundant in oily fish: it is a precursor of eicosanoids and of DHA and, as a purified ethyl ester, is used as a medicine in people with high triglycerides. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?Fish make very little of it: they accumulate it by eating algae, the real EPA producers of the sea. Its old common name is timnodonic acid.
