Description

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is one of three principal omega-3 fatty acids (along with alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)). ALA can be converted, usually in small amounts, into EPA and DHA in the body. EPA can be found in seafood, including fatty fish (e.g. salmon, tuna, and trout) and shellfish (e.g. crab, mussels, and oysters). Omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA, are important for a number of bodily functions, including muscle activity, blood clotting, digestion, fertility, and cell division and growth.
