EPA+DPA+DHA | Healthmatters.io

Three of the most important omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Omega-3 fatty acids are primarily obtained from food sources, such as oily fish. They have antioxidant,anti-inflammatory,and antithromboticeffects, and can help to reduce triglyceride levels.Increasing blood levels of long-chain n-3 fatty acids are associated with a lower risk of sudden cardiac death.Based on the top (75th percentile) and bottom (25th percentile) quartiles of the CHL reference population, the following relative risk categories were established for OmegaCheck:A cut-off of >=5.5% by wt defines a population at optimal relative risk,3.8-5.4% by wt defines a population at moderate relative risk,and <=3.7% by wt defines a population at high relative risk of sudden cardiac death.The totality of the scientific evidence demonstrates that when consumption of fish oils is limited to 3 g/day or less of EPA and DHA, there is no significant ri...
