E-EPA 600 mg

E-EPA is a unique refined fish oil preparation, ethyl ester of the eicosapentaeonic acid (EPA), which from research is believed to be superior to all other conventional Omega-3 products. Each capsule contains the amazing amount of 90 % (600 mg), pure vacuum destilled E-EPA plus vitamin E as antioxidant and 5 µg vitamin D. Conventional omega-3´s contain only 15 to 35 % EPA. A typical fish oil capsule sold in stores contains 1000 mg of fish oil of which only 180 mg is EPA and 120 mg is DHA. The other 700 mg are other oils not known to be of benefit (on the contrary).

Due to both molecular and vacuum destillations, E-EPA is free from cholesterol, triglycerides, trans fatty acids and environmental pollutants, such as mercury, lead, PCB and dioxin, unlike most other fish oil products on the market.

E-EPA is not to be confused with ordinary EPA or EPA concentrate, as it is not triglycerides but rather ethyl ester of EPA, commonly called E-EPA. The ethyl group added in the vacuum distlliation to EPA makes E-EPA more lipofilic, and hence it is absorbed better and it easily passes the blood brain barrier via the lipophilic pathway.

E-EPA is unique with respect to its strength and multiple biological effects. E-EPA produces in the body protective nanomolecules called resolvines. The raw materal for our E-EPA is totally natural extracted from pure fatty fish in the Pacific Ocean, specifically sardines and manhaden (which is similar to the herring family).

What is E-EPA?
EPA is an polyunsaturated fatty acid present in fat fish. The abbreviation EPA stands for eicosapentaenoic acid. E-EPA stands for ethyl-EPA. Our body turns it into hormone-like substances, so-called eicosanoids, which exert many beneficial effects in the body.

E-EPA is an improved "pharmaceutical" version of the EPA. E-EPA is biologically more potent than the traditional fish oils and some newer omega-3 products. All omega-3 products are derived from fish oil which have about 50 kinds of fatty acids. In order to concentrate EPA to 70–90 %, it has to be ethyl-esterificated. However, many other products are not fully ethyl-esterficated and they are distillated using only molecular distillation and hence they still contain triglyceride, diglyceride and mono-glyceride form oils. In other words, the traditional fish oil is not as clean as E-EPA. Glyceride-form fats react with calcium and magnesium (in the intestine and blood) to form large sope molecules, which neither absorbe well nor pass the blood brain barrier as easily as E-EPA.

We use molecular distillation as pre-treatment for high vacuum distillation which is more sophisticated technique. Using high vacuum distillation, one fatty acid (e.g., EPA) can be highly concentrated, and the product´s colour is pale and its odor and taste are mild. E-EPA is pure from environmental impurities (e.g, mercury and pesticides) and it is biologically more efficient than only molecular distillated products.

Dosage: One capsule daily, unless an increased dosage is recommended by a health professional. (One gram of E-EPA corresponds to approximately 5.5 grams of fish-oil concentrate or 10 grams (approximately 2 teaspoons) of cod liver oil.)

Adverse side-effects: None. E-EPA has been investigated extensively since the 1980´s and no toxic effects have been reported. In a Japanese study, 1 800 mg/d E-EPA was given to children for two months without any side-effects. Another paper states that a patient with mantle cell lymphoma took 12 g E-EPA daily for 16 months without any side-effects. E-EPA seems to be completely safe for long term continuous use, also for pregnant women and children. The only potential side effect may be a temporary slight loosening of the bowel, when the daily dose exceeds 4 g.

Package: 120 softgel capsules. 4 months supply in hygienic blisters.
VAT 13% is included.
