Pharmaceutical Grade Omega-3 Fish Oil and Nutritionally Supports Healthy Circulation. Menhaden fish oil offers a rich, sustainable source of EPA, DHA, and DPA, the long chain Omega-3 fatty acids that are required for proper health and development. In addition to EPA and DHA, our fish oil contains a recently discovered variation of Omega-3 fatty acid called Docosapentaenoic Acid (DPA). DPA is similar to EPA, but boasts two additional carbon units compared to EPA and is viewed as being a more powerful fatty acid. DPA has always been around, but research has recently identified it\'s impact on human health, specifically with regards to cardiovascular health*. One reason why DPA appears to be more powerful is that the body can store twice the amount of DPA in the blood vs EPA. The Atlantic menhaden fish is identified as the marine source with highest amounts of DPA compared to other sources. With just two softgels (2,000mg) our fish oil has a perfect balance of EPA (550mg), DHA (550mg), plus DPA (100mg) for optimal health. Menhaden oil contains a new essential fatty acid variation identified as docosapentaenoic acid or DPA. It is a variation of fatty acid that serves as an intermediate between the previously identified and recommended EPA and DHA omega-3\'s. *These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
