What is EPA?

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is one of several omega-3 fatty acids used by the body. The typical Western diet is relatively deficient in omega-3 fatty acids compared to the diets of our ancestors. The main dietary sources of EPA in the United States are cold water fish, such as wild salmon. Fish oil supplements may also raise concentrations of EPA in the body. Increased intake of EPA has been shown to be beneficial in coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

What is DHA?

DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) is a major building block of Omega 3 fatty acids. Praised for its benefits to brain health and function, new research indicates DHA has brain boosting benefits in both infants and adults. Manufacturers are even adding DHA to some infant formulas and baby foods.

What is Enteric Coating?

Enteric coating is a barrier that controls the location in the digestive system where it is absorbed. Enteric refers to the small intestine, therefore enteric coatings prevent release of medication before it reaches the small intestine.
